History

Trostianets was first mentioned in 1598. Historically, it was known as Adamhorod (Adamgrod), and was a private town in Poland, located in the Bracław Voivodeship, owned by the House of Potocki.

Until 26 January 2024, Trostianets was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Trostianets became a rural settlement.^[2]
