Note: "Khyriv (Ukrainian: Хи́рів, Polish: Chyrów) is a town in Staryi Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast (region) of Ukraine with a population of around 4,152 (2021 est.)

It housed a Jesuit college, Zakład Naukowo-Wychowawczy Ojców Jezuitów w Chyrowie, which operated until 1939, when the town belonged to Poland.

Khyriv was first mentioned in documents from 1374. At that time it was the private property of the noble Polish family of Herburt and belonged to Poland´s Ruthenian Voivodeship. In 1528 Chyrow, as it is called in Polish, received town rights, and three years later, the first Roman Catholic church was funded hereby Andrzej Tarlo. The wooden church probably burned during the Great Northern War, and in 1710, it was replaced by a brick one. In 1740, a synagogue was opened here. " - (en.wikipedia.org 06.11.2021)
