From 1918 to 1939 it was part of Poland, and called Kamionka Strumiłowa, was the capital of a county of the Tarnopol Voivodeship.
The city takes up the valley space and there are brick houses in the market square but the wooden houses prevail; the suburbs on the left bank of the Kamianka river are called: Belzkie, Podzamcze and Lwowskie; there is the Zabuzanskie suburb on the right river bank.
It used to bear the name of Dymoszyn (refer to Kronika Dzieduszyckich p. 38) and was the property of Jerzy Strumillo.
The Strumilowa cognomen was added to pay homage to Jerzy Strumillo, the city owner.
Jerzy Strumillo, who was the city of Lviv chamberlain, granted the village of Kamianka the civic rights.
These are the most important charters: In 1662, when the war with the Swedes ended, the court inspectors reported: "500 buildings used to stand here; there are only 90 of them now.
The city was not restored after the damage caused by the war because the court inspectors reported these words in 1766: "no inns are suitable for staying there; none of them are run by the Catholics.
The inhabitants do not engage themselves in trade ‘magis araturae et piscaturae quam mercaturae dediti’; only grease is sold in the market square.
There are 6 small Catholic houses in the city centre, 67 cottages in the suburbs, 39 building plots with gardens.
There are 29 inns run by Jews in the city centre; 57 Jewish houses and cottages.
The starosty owned the Wojtostwo which consisted of the village called Lapajowka (on the strength of the act of February 7, 1776 imposed by August III) with the commission of 469 Polish zloty.
The starosty, the neighbouring places and the Wojtostwo entered into possession of the count, whose name was Ignacy Cetner, on the strength of the act of April 1, 1787.
The report was published in the weekly magazine called Dodatek tygodniowy do Gazety Lwowskiej which was printed in 1869 (issues of 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22 and 23).
For example, an ancient sabre with the blade curved and the iron hilt, a cinenary urn were found there.
During World War II, Jews of the town were murdered in mass execution perpetrated by an Einsatzgruppen.
[5] Kamianka-Buzka is considered the birthplace of the Ukrainian theatre, with the first theatrical productions by Jakub Gawat presented on the city market in 1619.
In 1914 the town was the first place where Ivan Franko's drama "Stolen Happiness" was shown to public.
The town features prominently in book two of And Quiet Flows the Don by Mikhail Sholokhov.
The group of craftsmen was mainly formed by shoemakers, tailors, blacksmiths, weavers, carpenters and potters.
The local sawmill (with the power of 30 horses) produced pine-, oak- and ash- boards and flooring blocks.
We can learn from the book of rights granted to the city in 1589 by the king of Poland, Sigismund III Vasa, that the following guilds operated in Kamianka Strumilowa: the guild of furriers, shoemakers, weavers, blacksmiths, tinsel-makers, locksmiths, coopers, fishermen, armourers, paper-mill workers, haberdashers, carpenters and turners.
Those days, there were not any local fish-breeding ponds so the city ceased to make profits on this branch.
