History
editThe settlement was founded in 1888 as the settlement of Podilske (Ukrainian: Подільське). It received the status of an urban-type settlement in 1970.[2]
Until 18 July 2020, Viitivtsi belonged to Volochysk Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Khmelnytskyi Oblast to three. The area of Volochysk Raion was merged into Khmelnytskyi Raion.[5][6]
Until 26 January 2024, Viitivtsi was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Viitivtsi became a rural settlement.[7]
