Shpykiv

Shpykiv (Ukrainian: Шпи́ків, Polish: Szpików) is a rural settlement in Tulchyn Raion (a district in Vinnytsia Oblast (province) in central Ukraine, 372 kilometers (231 mi) southwest of Kyiv and 24 km (15 mi) northwest of Tulchyn, the raion center.

Spykov was first mentioned in documents dating from the 16th century during the Polish-Lithuanian period.

It was a small town, owned by the houses of Ostrogski, Zamoyski, Koniecpolski, Potocki and Świejkowski.

From 1793 to 1917 it was a town in Bratslav uyezd in Podolian Governorate of the Russian Empire.

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