== History == In the Second Polish Republic, Khorostkiv, then known as Chorostków, belonged to the County of Kopczynce, Tarnopol Voivodeship. Following the First Partition of Poland in 1772, it became part of the Habsburg monarchy's Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. Following the Peace of Schönbrunn in 1809, the area was ceded to the Russian Empire but was returned to the Habsburg monarchy as a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

After the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918, the area became part of the Second Polish Republic. After the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, it was incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR. Following the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany in summer 1941, the area was administrated as part of the General Government. On July 30th 1941, 30 Jews were killed by the Einsatzgruppen and 110 Jews were killed by local collaborators.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Einsatzgruppen reports: selections from the dispatches of the Nazi death squads' campaign against the Jews, July 1941 - January 1943 |date=1989 |publisher=Holocaust Library |location=New York, NY |isbn=0896040577 |page=60 |url=https://archive.org/details/einsatzgruppenre0000unse}}</ref> When the Soviet Union retook the area in 1944, the region returned to the Ukrainian SSR. Since the dissolution of the Ukrainian SSR and the Soviet Union in 1991, the area has been part of independent Ukraine.

In 1977, Khorostkiv was granted City status.<ref>Хоростков // Советский энциклопедический словарь. редколл., гл. ред. А. М. Прохоров. 4-е изд. М., «Советская энциклопедия», 1986. стр.1463</ref>

Until 18 July 2020, Khorostkiv belonged to Husiatyn Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ternopil Oblast to three. The area of Husiatyn Raion was merged into Chortkiv Raion.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
