History
Dashava is known as one of the first historical locations of natural gas production in Europe. In 1926-1929 a gas pipeline with a length of 81 kilimeters connected the settlement with Lviv. Before the Second World War, Stryi was also connected to gas supplies from Dashava. Following the war, in 1946-1948 a pipeline was established between Dashava and Kyiv, and by 1955 gas supplies from Dashava reached Moscow. Later a connection with Minsk and Leningrad was constructed.3
Until 26 January 2024, Dashava was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Dashava became a rural settlement.4
