[2] Since 1797, the village of Kornyn was the center of the Kornynsky volost of the Skvirsky Uyezd of the Kiev Governorate.

As of 1895, there were 136 courtyards with 987 inhabitants, a sugar factory, a school, two retail shops, an Orthodox Resurrection Church and a Jewish house of prayer.

After the outbreak of the civil war in January 1918, Soviet rule was established here, but at the end of February 1918, Kornyn was occupied by German troops, who remained here until November 1918.

On December 25, 1943, during the Zhytomyr-Berdichesky offensive operation, Kornyn was liberated by Soviet troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front of the Red Army.

On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kornyn became a rural settlement.
