}}The oldest written mention of Sokyriany dates back to 1666, when the Ottoman troops conquered Moldova and Bukovina. In the Middle Ages, Sokyriany were part of the Moldavian principality.

In January 1918, Soviet power was proclaimed in Sokyrian Oblast, and the confiscation of landlord lands began. In November 1918, Bessarabia, including the Sokiryan region, was occupied by Austro-German troops, thus royal Romania. After joining the USSR on November 12, 1940, the Bukovina Krai was formed Sokyryansky district.{{Kelmentsi–Sokyriany line}}

In the 60s of the 20th century, the territory of the Sokyrian region was part of the Kelmenets district. In the mid-1960s, Sokyryan district was restored within its previous administrative boundaries. City since 1966.Сокиряны // Большой энциклопедический словарь (в 2-х тт.). / редколл., гл. ред. А. М.

Until 18 July 2020, Sokyriany served as an administrative center of Sokyriany Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Sokyriany Raion was merged into Dnistrovskyi Raion.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
