The settlement is located along the Opir River. It is situated 100 kilometres (62 mi) from the regional center Lviv, 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) from the city of Skole[3] and is located along the Highway M06 (Ukraine). It is a Ukrainian international highway (M-highway) connecting Kyiv to the Hungarian border near Chop, where it connects to the Hungarian Highway M34.

Its total area is 3.62 km2, and the population is around 3,348 people.[4] Local government is administered by Verkhnosynovydnenska settlement council.[5]

The first written record of its mention dates from 1561. But archaeological studies indicate that in this location people lived in the days of Kievan Rus and Principality of Galicia–Volhynia. That are approximately the year 1240.[6]

Until 18 July 2020, Verkhnie Synovydne belonged to Skole 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 Skole Raion was merged into Stryi Raion.[7][8]
