Rohachyn (Ukrainian: Рогачин, Polish Rohaczyn, Russian Rogachin) is a village (of 886 people) in Ternopil Raion (district) of Ternopil Oblast (province) in western Ukraine (the historic region of Eastern Galicia). It belongs to Naraiv rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] The first historical mention dates to 1578, when Rohachyn mentioned as property of B. Narajowski.
Until 18 July 2020, Rohachyn belonged to Berezhany Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ternopil Oblast to three. The area of Berezhany Raion was merged into Ternopil Raion.[2][3]
