History

[edit]

The village of Glibochok was founded in a deep ravine. People lived in the area since the ancient Stone Age, as well as the Bronze and Iron Ages, evidenced by archaeological findings.[4]

Between 1242 and 1255, Mongol-Tatar hordes led by Batu passed through the area.[5]

During the war of 1648–1654 led by Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, significant battles took place in the surrounding forests.[6]

The Orthodox Church was a major landowner in the village. A church in Glibochok is mentioned in historical documents from 1740. In 1775, a new three-dome church was built. In 1882, during repairs, the domes were removed and a bell tower was added.[7] It was consecrated in honor of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessaloniki. Today, an Orthodox church stands on this site.

By the end of the 19th century, Glibochok was densely populated. The main occupations of the villagers were agriculture and animal husbandry. They also practiced beekeeping and gardening.[8]

The villagers suffered from Stalinist repressions and the Holodomor of 1932–33.[9]

Since 1991, it has been part of independent Ukraine.[10]

On August 20, 2015, as part of the local council consolidation reform, the village joined the Novoushytska settlement hromada[11]. Prior to this, local governance was carried out by the Kapustiany village council.

Before the administrative reform of 19 July 2020, the village belonged to Novoushytskyi Raion, after which it became part of Kamianets-Podilskyi Raion[12].
