History
Zhovtantsi was first mentioned in 1358, at which time its population was primarily agrarian. In 2014, protests occurred in the village over the poor quality of the motorway from Zhovtantsi to Vykhopni. Protesters threatened to block Highway H17, linking the city of Lviv to Lutsk, if their demands were not met.
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko visited the village on 10 December 2018, as part of a trip to Lviv Oblast. While at Zhovtantsi, he paid his respects at a memorial to Ukrainian independence activists.
