Toponyms

Researchers believe that powerful forest bison used to come to the valley of the river of the same name to drink, giving the river and the village its name. The 1895 Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland explains the origin of the name Zubra by stating that the village was founded in the forests where bison lived. The modern historian Vasyl Laba slightly modified the version of the origin of the village's name, noting that the Galician-Volyn Chronicle (1219) states that “Prince Mstyslav stood on Zubra,” and the thousandth man Dmytro retreated to it under the pressure of the Polish-Hungarian army. In other words, Zubra is mentioned as a defensive line, which could very well have been the river.

The name of the village is the origin of the zubrytska culture.
