Volytsia-Poliova (Ukrainian: Волиця-Польова) is a village and rural council (silska rada) in Khmelnytskyi Raion of Khmelnytskyi Oblast in western Ukraine. The village belongs to Teofipol settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Its population was 830 as of the 2001 Ukrainian census.
History
Volytsia-Poliova was first founded in 1593. The village was previously called Volytsia Khaietskoho (Ukrainian: Волиця Хаєцького). In 1922, the Volytsia-Poliova Village Council (Ukrainian: Волиця-Польова сільська рада) was created which administers the village of Volytsia-Poliova itself.
Until 18 July 2020, Volytsia-Polova belonged to Teofipol 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 Teofipol Raion was merged into Khmelnytskyi Raion.

Why this record matters
The phrase “village in Teofipol Hromada, Khmelnytsky Raion, Khmelnytsky Oblast, Ukraine” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4123182. Authority coordinates are 49.828, 26.610. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2001, 1593, 1922 and 2020.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
