History
The first written mention dates back to year 1440.[3] In the village there was a Greek Catholic parish. The Roman Catholic parish was located in the nearby village of Malekhiv.
During the times of Soviet rule, Velyki Hrybovychi became the site of a landfill serving the city of Lviv. After almost 60 years of use, 14,3 million tons of waste were collected in the area. The landfill was closed in 2016 following a major fire and a landslide, as a result of which three firemen and one communal service employee lost their lives. In 2017 Egis Group presented a plan of recultivation for the area.[4]
Between 2020 and 2024, with support of the Ministry of Communities and Territories Development and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the slopes of the former landfill were stabilized, a drainage system was created, and a waterproof covering was installed. In 2021, a biogas generator started its operation, producing heat and electricity from the waste. In 2025 the dome of the landfill was covered with sandstone and earth, and in 2026 first trees were planted for a future recreational zone.[4]
Until 18 July 2020, Velyki Hrybovychi belonged to Zhovkva 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 Zhovkva Raion was merged into Lviv Raion.[5][6]
