History
The area of Horodok contains archaeological sites dating from paleolithic, eneolithic and neolithic periods. Other finds stem from the Corded Ware culture and times of Kyivan Rus. Numerous archaeological excavations took place in Horodok during the 1920s.[1]
In 1902 a museum was founded in Horodok by Teodor Shteingel, an alumnus of the University of Kyiv, who donated his valuable archaeological, historical and ethnographic collections from Volhynia, including finds from Rus'-era tombs excavated at Studynets in modern-day Rivne Oblast.[2] The museum functioned in the building of a former Greek Catholic monastery until the First World War.[1]
The village is remembered in the Kresowa księga sprawiedliwych on page 87 (Horodok, Rivne Raion).
