Etymology

The name of the village of Lahodiv is connected with the main dam of the Lahodiv pond, which was located within the village in the 16th–18th centuries (now the dam is called the road, 1.4 km long, leading from Lahodiv to the tract Hatka). The size of the dam was large and a lot of time was spent on its construction (repair, Ukrainian: лагодити, lahodyty). Apparently, when the dam was built, this place was named – "where they repair" (Ukrainian: там, де лагодять), which over time was transformed into the current name of the village – Lahodiv.[2]

Geography

Not far from the village of Lahodiv is the Lahodiv Reserve, created in 1984 to preserve the natural landscape with valuable high-yielding plantations of Scots pine.[3]

History

An ancient village with an interesting history. Within the village there was a famous Lahodivsky pond in the 16th–18th centuries. The water from the Lahodivsky pond was most likely drained when the Brody fortress was destroyed in 1812 and was no longer filled.[4]

The owner of the village, Jozef Potocki, helped to establish a factory in the village for the production of carpets (like Persian ones), which had oriental patterns.[5]

In the 18th century a one-storey house was built in the village, which belonged to Counts Tarnowski.[6]

In the XIX century – a village in the Brody County of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of Austria-Hungary.[7]

On the eve of the Second World War, Lahodiv was part of the rural commune of Konyushki, Brody County, Tarnopol Voivodeship, Poland.[8]

At the beginning of 1940, the village became part of the newly created Brody Raion of the Lviv region of the Ukrainian SSR.[9] In the late 1960s, the village was subordinated to the Konyushkivska village council, the center of which was moved to Yazlivchyk until 1978.

Currently, the village has a medical and obstetric center, the People's House "Prosvita",[10] as well as a small church of the Introduction to the Church of the Blessed Virgin of the PCU.[11] The Brody children's health camp "Youth" has been operating in the village since 1995.

Until 18 July 2020, Lahodiv belonged to Brody 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 Brody Raion was merged into Zolochiv Raion.[12][13]
