History
Until 18 July 2020, Nyzhankovychi belonged to Staryi Sambir Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Staryi Sambir Raion was merged into Sambir Raion.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.

Until 26 January 2024, Nyzhankovychi was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Nyzhankovychi became a rural settlement.{{cite news |title=Что изменится в Украине с 1 января |url=https://glavnoe.in.ua/ru/novosti/chto-yzmenytsya-v-ukrayne-s-1-yanvarya |work=glavnoe.in.ua |lang=ru| date=1 January 2024}}
Economy
=Transportation=
Nyzhankovychi railway station is on the railway connecting Khyriv and Przemyśl, this is the last station in Ukraine. There is infrequent passenger traffic in the direction of Khyriv; there is no passenger traffic to Poland. Until 1994, the stretch between Nyzhankovychi and Khtriv had a dual gauge, which, in principle, allowed the trains to cross into Poland. After the 1994 reconstruction, only the Ukrainian gauge (1520 mm) remains.{{cite news |title=Поляки протестировали спецпоезд на маршруте от Перемышля до границы Украины |url=https://cfts.org.ua/news/2018/08/26/polyaki_protestirovali_spetspoezd_na_marshrute_ot_peremyshlya_do_granitsy_ukrainy_foto_49053 |publisher=Центр транспортных стратегий |date=26 August 2018 |language=Russian}}
The settlement has road access to Khyriv and from there further to Sambir and Lviv. The roads do not cross to Poland around Nyzhankovychi.
