== History == While the city was probably mentioned as early as 1158, the first unequivocal mention comes in 1501 in a Moldavian chronicle. From 1514 to 1574 the area was occupied by the Turks, after which it belonged to the Principality of Moldova until 1774. From 1774 to 1918 it was part of the Austrian Empire (from 1849 part of the crown land of Bukovina). During that time it sered as a district centre. Between 1908 and 1920 a Ukrainian gymnasium with 1500 students fuctioned in the town. In 1910 Vyzhnytsia had 5300 residents.
