==History==
[[File:Палац Потоцьких..JPG|thumb|Potocki Palace]]
[[File:Василіянський монастир .Нічне.JPG|thumb|Basilian Monastery]]

In May 1685, the [[Hetmans of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth|Crown hetman]] and [[Kraków]] [[Voivode]] [[Feliks Kazimierz Potocki]] purchased land along the [[Bug River]]. In 1692, he founded a city on the lands of the village Novyi Dvir ({{Literal translation|New Garden}}, {{Langx|pl|Nowy Dwór|links=no}}) and named it "Krystynopol" after his wife [[Krystyna Lubomirska (d. 1669)|Krystyna Lubomirska]] (the [[suffix]] "-pol" derives from [[Greek language|Greek]] "[[polis]]"<ref>{{cite book|last1=Karpluk|first1=Maria|title=Mowa naszych przodków: podstawowe wiadomości z historii języka polskiego do końca XVIII w|date=1993|publisher=TMJP|page=46|language=pl}}</ref>). Potocki made the city his family center. He died here on 22 September 1702. His grandson [[Franciszek Salezy Potocki]] built a palace and in 1763 founded a monastery of [[Order of Saint Basil the Great|Basilians]] (barocco church of Saint George; prior to 1946 – a place of miracles with wondrous icon of the [[Mother of God]]).<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Syrtsov|first=Oleksandr|date=June 2013|title=The Donbas of Halychyna|url=https://i.tyzhden.ua/content/photoalbum/2013/june/16/book%2011_2.pdf|journal=The Ukrainian Week|volume=11|issue=53 |pages=34–35|via=Tyzhden}}</ref> Among the landmarks of the city is Count Potocki's palace, constructed by the order of Feliks Kazimierz Potocki after 1692.<ref name=":0" /> The city, as Krystynopol, was part of the [[Crown of the Kingdom of Poland|Polish Kingdom]] in the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]] until 1772, when it was incorporated into the [[Habsburg monarchy|Habsburg Empire]].

[[File:Chervonograd sancti spiriti.jpg|thumb|The Church of the Holy Spirit (built in the 1750s)]]

In the 19th century, the [[Apostolus Christinopolitanus]] and the chronicle from 1763 to 1779 were kept in the city. The Catholic order of [[Myrrh-Bearing Sisters]] was founded by Fr. Yulian Datsii in 1910, with the purpose of gathering funds to build a home for orphans and the poor. The first members of the congregation vowed to build two buildings: one for the people and one for the congregation. In 1913, the first convent arose, where 15 sisters lived.
During [[World War II]], the town was occupied by [[Nazi Germany]] from 1939 to 1944.

After [[World War II]] ended, the town was initially given back to Poland by the [[Soviet Union]].

During the [[interwar period]], it belonged to the [[Second Polish Republic]], and between 1945 and 1951 was part of the [[Polish People's Republic]]. It passed from Poland to the [[Ukrainian SSR]] of the Soviet
Union after the [[1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange|territorial exchange in 1951]] and had its name changed from Krystynopil ({{Lang|uk|Кристинопіль}}) to Chervonohrad, after the color red ({{Langx|uk|червоний|links=no|translit=chervonyi}}).

A local newspaper is published in the city since June 1962.<ref>No. 2942. «Новости Прибужья» = «Новини Прибужжя» // Летопись периодических и продолжающихся изданий СССР 1986 - 1990. Часть 2. Газеты.

Until 18 July 2020, Chervonohrad was designated as a [[City of regional significance (Ukraine)|city of oblast significance]] and belonged to [[Chervonohrad Municipality]]. As part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven, Chervonohrad Municipality was merged into newly established Chervonohrad Raion.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.

In August 2023, [[Ukrainian Institute of National Memory]] decided that the name of the city did not meet the law "[[On the Condemnation and Prohibition of Propaganda of Russian Imperial Policy in Ukraine and the Decolonization of Toponymy]]", meaning that Chervonohrad will be renamed.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bohdaniok |first=Olena |date=2023-08-03 |title= |script-title=uk:Деколонізація: УІНП підготував перелік населених пунктів, які варто перейменувати |trans-title=Decolonization: UINM prepared the list of populated places that need to be renamed |url=https://suspilne.media/543519-dekolonizacia-uinp-pidgotuvav-perelik-naselenih-punktiv-aki-varto-perejmenuvati/ |website=[[Suspilne]]}}</ref> On 20 March 2024, the Committee of the [[Verkhovna Rada]] on issues of organization of state power, local self-government, regional development and urban planning decided to propose the name Sheptytskyi,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Braslavskyi |first=Dmytro |date=2024-03-20 |title= |script-title=uk:Червоноград, Павлоград і Бровари перейменують.

On 19 September 2024, the Verkhovna Rada voted to rename Chervonohrad to Sheptytskyi.<ref>{{Cite web |title= |script-title=uk:Проект Постанови про перейменування окремих населених пунктів та районів |trans-title=Draft resolution on renaming individual populated places and raions |url=https://itd.rada.gov.ua/billInfo/Bills/Card/44913 |access-date=2024-09-19}}</ref>

==Krystynopol Jews==
{{Unreferenced section|date=September 2024}}
Presently,{{when|date=September 2024}} there are 11–100 [[Jews]] residing in Sheptytskyi. The earliest known Jewish community dates back to 1740. In 1931 the Jewish population was 2,200. The Jewish cemetery dates from 18th century with the last known [[Hasidic]] burial in 1941. Krystynopol Jews were deported to the [[Belzec extermination camp]] in September, 1942. The Jewish surname and rabbinical family [[Kristinopoler]] / [[Kristianpoller]] stem from the city's former name, Krystynopol. Jewish immigrants to America from this city founded the [[Krystenopoler Synagogue]] and First Krystenopoler Sick Benevolent Association Brith Isaac in New York. The Jewish cemetery is located in the town center, in Shevska Street.
