Nova Ushytsia

Nova Ushytsia (Ukrainian: Нова Ушиця; Yiddish: נײַ־אושיצע, romanized: Nay-Ushitze; Russian: Новая Ушица) is a rural settlement in Kamianets-Podilskyi Raion, Khmelnytskyi Oblast, western Ukraine.

An excavation of Kosykivtsi, a nearby village, found polished stone axes that were dated to the Bronze Age, around the 2nd Millennium, B.C.

[5] The settlement was founded in 1439 as Litnivtsi (Ukrainian: Літнівці; Polish: Letniowce)[2] and was part of the Podolian Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland.

The first mention of the city came in the form of the 1439 royal charter that granted the town, as well as Verbovets [ru] to Polish-Lithuanian nobleman Petras Gedgaudas.

The city later fell under control of the Russian Empire in 1793 after the second partition of Poland, and became part of the Podolia Governorate, located inside of the Ushitsky uyezd.

In 1924, the town was granted the status of an urban-type settlement after it became the Nova Ushytsia Raion's administrative center under the Ukraine USSR.
