Formation of the Street
Bohdana Khmelnytskoho Street is one of Lviv’s longest roads and historically served as a major route heading northeast toward Zhovkva and Warsaw. It developed from a medieval path that passed through the suburb of Zamarstyniv and became known as Żółkiewska Road by the 19th century.
The area surrounding today’s No. 167 began to expand significantly at the turn of the 20th century, especially with the construction of the Pidzamche freight station and the arrival of warehouses, customs depots, and small factories. The character of the street became increasingly industrial and working-class. It was renamed after Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky during the Soviet era and now lies on the northeastern fringe of Lviv, bordering Malechiv.
