==History==
Yezupil was previously referred to as part of the [[Halych|Halych Powiat]] ([[powiat|county]]). It is also a part of the historic region of [[Pokuttya]] in [[Galicia (Central Europe)|Galicia]].
At the turn of the century, town Jezupol (former Zhovten) was a fair size town (with its own Jewish Kahil and Roman Catholic Church and Greek Catholic Church) in Galicia/Halychyna in Austro-Hungarian Empire.
It is approximately 7&nbsp;km from Halych, the former capital of the [[Halych-Volhynia|Principality of Halych Volhynia]] in the 10/12th centuries. In 1352 – 1772 it was a part of [[Ruthenian Voivodeship|Ruthenia Voivodeship]] in the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth|Kingdom of Poland]]. First mentioned in 1435 as '''Cheshybisy''' ({{langx|pl|Czesybiesy}}{{sfn|Czołowski|1890|p=7}}), up until the 16th century it was a village with a wooden fortress. When the fort was destroyed during one of the [[Tatars|Tatar]] incursions, [[Jakub Potocki]], the voivode of [[Wroclaw]] and private owner of the town, renamed it '''Jesupol''', after Jesus in 1597. In 1598, a fortress and Dominican monastery was erected, and the town developed next to it. The monastery had a rich and famous library of ancient scriptures and prints.
Upon the partition of the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]] in 1772 the [[Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria]], or simply '''Galicia''', became the largest, most populous, and northernmost province of the [[Austrian Empire]], where it remained until the dissolution of [[Austria-Hungary]] at the end of World War I.
In the prelude to the Second World War, the [[Molotov–Ribbentrop pact]] divided [[Poland]] roughly along the [[Curzon line]]. Thus, all territory east of the [[San River|San]], [[Bug River|Bug]] and [[Neman River|Neman]] rivers were annexed into the [[USSR]], approximating the former territory of East Galicia. This territory was divided into four administrative districts (oblasts): [[Lvov]], [[Ivano-Frankivsk|Stanislav]], [[Drohobych]] and [[Tarnopol]] (the latter including parts of [[Volhynia]]) of the [[Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic]]. Since September 17, 1939, it was a part of the [[USSR]]. Since June 22, 1941, the Soviet regime discontinued when Germany had occupied East Galicia during [[Operation Barbarossa]].
In 1945, the town became a part of the Ukrainian SSR as part of the Soviet Union; since 1991, the town has been a part of Ukraine. The first Jezupil (Jesupol) named town was renamed to Zhovten ({{langx|uk|Жовтень}}); it received the status of an urban-type settlement in 1940. On July 9, 2003, the town was officially renamed again to Jezupil.
Until 18 July 2020, Yezupil belonged tp [[Tysmenytsia Raion]]. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast to six. The area of Tysmenytsia Raion was merged into Ivano-Frankivsk Raion.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.

Until 26 January 2024, Yezupil was designated [[urban-type settlement]]. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Yezupil became a rural settlement.<ref name="glavnoe">{{cite news |title=Что изменится в Украине с 1 января |url=https://glavnoe.in.ua/ru/novosti/chto-yzmenytsya-v-ukrayne-s-1-yanvarya |work=glavnoe.in.ua |lang=ru| date=1 January 2024}}</ref>
