Bila (Ukrainian: Біла) is a village in Ternopil Raion, Ternopil Oblast of Western Ukraine.

History

The existence of the village became known in the second half of the 16th century, in a document of the Polish magnate Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski, where the fields that at that time belonged to Tarnopol were registered. In 1884, Oleksander Barvinsky launched one of the main cultural centers in the area here. In 1912, the first Ternopil airfield was established in Bila, where some of the first flight demonstrations in present-day Ukraine were made. Until the creation of the current municipality in 2018, the town formed a rural council on its own.[2][3]
