==History== The settlement was first founded in 1400. It received the Magdeburg rights in 1455. Yarmolyntsi has had the status of an urban-type settlement since 1958.<ref name=rada/>
Yarmolyntsi was occupied by the Nazis on 8 July 1941 during World War II. The next day, 16 Jewish men were shot to death on the outskirts of the town. Jews were required to wear Stars of David on their chests and backs and were often abused, some being hanged from trees. Eventually, they were forced into a ghetto. In late October 1942, Jews from Yarmolyntsi and surrounding towns were taken to the former military barracks. Several days later, they were forced to dig their own graves before being systematically shot to death. During the massacre, a group of Jews put up armed resistance and killed a number of Germans and Ukrainian auxiliary policemen. Yarmolyntsi was liberated by the Red Army on 27 March 1944.<ref>‘’https://collections.yadvashem.org/en/untold-stories/community/14621943-Yarmolintsy Untold Stories: Murder Sites of Jews in Occupied Territories of the USSR, Yad Vashem</ref>
Until 18 July 2020, Yarmolyntsi was the administrative center of Yarmolyntsi Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Khmelnytskyi Oblast to three. The area of Yarmolyntsi Raion was merged into Khmelnytskyi Raion.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
