History
editUrban-type settlement since 1959. In 1968, its population was 3.5 thousand people. There was a lumber mill and a shoe factory.[4]
Population was 3,422 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[2] 80% of its population was Hungarian and mayor was Yosyp Kilb (József Kilb).
On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished the status of urban-type settlement, and Vylok became a rural settlement.[5]
