Tetiiv#History

{{Unreferenced section|date=May 2022}}

The main form of transportation is the Koziatyn-Zhashkiv railway, which passes through the city. There are two railway stations: Tetiiv and Sloboda Post, which are both located in the western part of the city.

Tetyjów, as it was known in Polish, was granted Magdeburg town rights with a weekly market and two annual fairs by Polish King Sigismund III Vasa in 1606. It was a private town of the Ostrogski, Zasławski, Sanguszko, Leduchowski and Ostrowski noble families,{{cite book|author=|title=Słownik geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i innych krajów słowiańskich, Tom XII|year=1892|language=pl|location=Warszawa|pages=322–323}} administratively located in the Bracław County in the Bracław Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.{{cite book|last=Krykun|first=Mykola|year=2012|title=Воєводства Правобережної України у XVI-XVIII століттях: Статті і матеріали|language=uk,pl|page=529|isbn=978-617-607-240-9}}

Tetiiv was first inhabited by Jews since the 17th century, with many members of the community dying in a massacre by Haydamaks in 1768. Despite this, Tetiiv continued to exist as a shtetl and held a 95% Jewish population in 1897.

Until 18 July 2020, Tetiiv was the administrative center of Tetiiv Raion. The raion was abolished that day as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven. The area of Tetiiva Raion was merged into Bila Tserkva Raion.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
