History
Until 18 July 2020, Zapytiv belonged to Kamianka-Buzka 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 Kamianka-Buzka Raion was split between Chervonohrad and Lviv raions, with Zapytiv being transferred to Lviv Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Zapytiv was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Zapytiv became a rural settlement.[5]
