== History == Potelych is an old settlement, located near the modern Ukrainian-Polish border. The first mention of the village is from 1262. Previously, the village was a small town called Telych (). In 1498, the town was granted Magdeburg rights. It was a big economic center on the trade route between Lublin and Lviv. In the 17th century, it fell into disrepair due to relocation of trade route northerly to Rava-Ruska.
