History
Until 18 July 2020, Zhvyrka belonged to Sokal 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 Sokal Raion was merged into Chervonohrad Raion.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
