[4] Although Zolotyi Potik would not be formally settled until the 14th century, A.D., evidence of Cucuteni–Trypillia culture exists from tools dated to the 3rd millennium, B.C.

[8] The town was renamed "Potok" (Ukrainian: Potik) in accordance with the family surname under the House of Potocki, when it was under the control of Jakub's sons: Mikołaj, Jan, and Andrzej.

[9] In 1578, it was granted Magdeburg rights and renamed "Potok Złoty" (Ukrainian: Zolotyi Potik, "Golden Brook").

In 1676, the invading Turkish-Tartar army led by Beylerbey of Damascus, Melek Ibrahim Sheitan [uk], destroyed the local castle, which up until then had been the main estate of the residing branch of the Potocki family.

[13] Around the same time period, the town was ravaged and much of it was destroyed under the siege led by Bogdan Khmelnytskyi, which resulted in the deaths of Jews, as well as 3 Dominican monks.

[14] In the diary of Ulrich von Werdum from 1672, during his travels to Poland, Zlotyi Potik is described as a small town with a Roman-Catholic church built of stone.

[22] A Jewish community began forming in Zolotyi Potik as early as 1635,[23] and eventually consisted of 1/3 of the town's population.

Its Jewish inhabitants, comprising around one-third of the town's total population, were mostly deported to Buchach by fall of 1942.

The building was preserved in some form or another, passing down through owners until a fire in 1935, and then some reconstruction efforts were made 3 years following the incident.
