History

The village was part of Poland until 1945, located in the Lwów Voivodeship, within the Drohobych County and the Medenice, 18 kilometers northeast of Drohobych.

In 1843, Władysław Łoziński – a Polish novelist, historian, and secretary of the Ossoliński National Institute – was born in Opary.

On 19 July 2020, as a result of the administrative-territorial reform and liquidation of the Drohobych Raion, the village became part of the Drohobych Raion.Постанова Верховної Ради України від 17 липня 2020 року No. 807-IX "[https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/807-IX Про утворення та ліквідацію районів]"
