Village Humnyska, probably founded in the fifteenth century, has a record of where it was first mentioned in 1476.
Traces of Stone Age settlements (3rd millennium BC) and early Bronze Age archaeological excavations have been revealed near villages Chuchmany and Humnyska.
From 1772 the village was a part of Austrian Empire, since 1867 as part of Austro-Hungarian Empire. From 1920 to 1939 Humnyska was part of Second Polish Republic.
In 1931, a school was built in the village. The first director was Stepan Kalynevych. He led the school until 1945 and made a significant contribution to the development of education in rural areas.[4]

Until 18 July 2020, Humnyska belonged to Busk 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 Busk Raion was merged into Zolochiv Raion.[5][6]
