Rokytne (Ukrainian: Рокитне, Polish: Rokitno) is a rural settlement in Rivne Oblast (province) in north-western Ukraine.
[3] A settlement named Okhotnikove (Ukrainian: Охотнікове) was located on the territory of Rokytne since around the 17th century.
[2] In 1888, the village of Okhotnikove was incorporated, and it kept that name until it was renamed to "Rokytne" in 1922.
[6] Following the invasion of Poland at the start of World War II in September 1939, Rokitno was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, then by Nazi Germany until 1944, and then re-occupied by the Soviet Union, which eventually annexed it from Poland in 1945.
On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Rokytne became a rural settlement.
