History

Until 26 January 2024, Teresva was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Teresva 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}}

In 2023 the rail line between Teresva and Romania reopened.{{cite web |title=EXCITING: In Ukraine, two new railway sections on the border with Romania were repaired in 2 months |url=https://www.railtarget.eu/passenger/exciting-in-ukraine-two-new-railway-sections-on-the-border-with-romania-were-repaired-in-2-months-3346.html |date=30 August 2022}}
