Until 18 July 2020, Kostychany belonged to Novoselytsia Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Novoselytsia Raion was split between Chernivtsi and Dnistrovskyi Raions, with Kostychany being transferred to Chernivtsi Raion.[2][3]
Kostychany village was first officially attested in a document dated 1619.
