Gediminids, duke of Ratno,
Liuboml and

monastery was built atop the Serhiy mountain overlooking the village.
In 1548 king
Sigismund I of Poland allowed bishop Makary of Lvov, Kamieniec and
Halicz to buy the property back. However, the transaction was apparently never accomplished as in the following decades the village was still registered as a royal property in state's registers.

. The conflict over the ownership of the village however continued, as the claim on the village was upheld by both the dis-uniate Orthodox bishop
Arseniusz Żeliborski of Lvov and Uniate
Basilian monks, who also claimed it on their own behalf.
It was only in May 1661 that king
Jan Kazimierz of Poland finally ruled in favour of Jabłonowskis and annulled all claims by bishops of Lvov. However, as Jabłonowskis received numerous other villages and titles in

Although the Jabłonowskis withdrew their claim to the village, the conflict continued, as bishop Szumlański claimed the village to himself rather than to Orthodox church in general and Basilian friars of Krylos continued to question that in courts for another 20 years, until bishop
Lew Szeptycki finally settled the issue in 1780.
By 19th century the village grew to be one of the largest in the region, from its northern end to the southern outskirts it measured roughly 50 kilometres.
It was a property of Greek Catholic metropolitan bishops of
Lvov.
In 1880 it had 4294 inhabitants, mostly Ruthenian. The facilities included numerous
sawmills utilising wood from surrounding forests and exporting it via the Łomnica (
Limnitsia) river, navigable for 6 months in a year.
Although the mountainous region's soils were unsuitable for farming, it contained significant amounts of
iron ore

. Because of that in 1810 Greek Catholic metropolitan of Lvov
Antoni Angełowicz founded a small iron mine to the south-west of the village in a suburb that came to be known as Angełówka, after its founder.
However, financial difficulties as well as technical problems led to the enterprises' failure and it went
bankrupt in 1818.
According to the
Polish census of 1921, there were 5917 people living in Perehińsko, including 612 Jews.
In 1939 the village was occupied by the
Soviet Union and the following year it was declared an ''urban-type settlement'', an administrative unit between a village and a town. Most traces of Jewish life were destroyed during and after
World War II and currently only a devastated cemetery remains.
