History

Łanczyn, as it was known in Polish, formed part of the Kingdom of Poland until the First Partition of Poland, when it was annexed by Austria. It was part of Austrian Galicia or Austrian Poland until 1918. After the end of World War I Łanczyn became again part of Poland, within which it was administratively located in the Nadwórna County in the Stanisławów Voivodeship.

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Łanczyn was first occupied by the Soviet Union. In 1940 it became an urban-type settlement. From 1941 to 1944, it was occupied by Nazi Germany and administered within the District of Galicia. In 1944, it was re-occupied by the Soviet Union, and eventually annexed from Poland in 1945. In 1945–1947, expelled Poles from Lanchyn settled in the villages of Błażejów and Olszyny.[3]

Postwar, Lanchyn was briefly the center of the raion.
