The first written mention of the settlement dates from the ancient Chronicles of the Ipatija. However, according to historical sources, Christianity comes faster here than to Kiev, -from the Moravian Principality, so the town was founded in the eighth century.

From the middle of the 12th century Lutsk was one of the greatest cities of Galicia-Volyn principality. In 1340 Volyn Lithuanian przychwytują claim. Then the throne Prince Liubart played rises, the youngest son of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Gedemina.

Year 1429 the city was a remarkable, because since that time the city existed on the European map. This is done soon after the monarchs in European countries, take (decide) zbolały policy questions this time, in particular, questions of Defense.

In 1569 After the Union of Lublin, Lutsk goes to Polish, becomes the center of Volyn. In 1795 as a result of the third partition of the Polish goes to Russia.

Between 1921-1939 again, in the composition of the Polish. Since 1939 enters the composition of Ukraine.

VERSIONS OF THE ORIGIN OF THE CITY

There are quite a few versions of the origin of the city. Some of them maintain historians, some live in communications as well as legends. Interesting, that some versions of the straight one arise, on the other. For example, According to one theory, the name of the town comes from the name of the Town of its founder-leader of the Dulibskiego Arches, other-the name of the town comes from the Łuczan tribe, that, in turn, are derived from the Dulibów and their leaders Bows.

The first version of a very old settlement Łuczan occupied only a small triangular promontory between the rivers thus providing Styr River and Little Głuszeć (There is currently no), where now stands the castle of Łuck. During the ancient Rus in the area was an ancient settlement in place, which after some time was built the fortress. So according to the first version of the name of the town comes from the leaders of the Dulibskiego Arches. The name leads the Byzantine Emperor Constantine Porfyrodnyj, who wrote that Luke has put on over at Styrem their huts, He founded the city ". Was he started shaping of Lutsk, as a city.

According to the other version the name of the town comes from the name of the tribe Łuczan. Some historians believe, that could be the hotbed of Lutsk Łuczan, others think, It is not true, because of this tribe nobody mentions in “The novel of past years” Nestor the chronicler.

Really we can't find memories in “The Novel” about Łuczanach, but the recollection of the tribe Lutyczów.

Luck of the castle tower

Quite possible, that the Lutyczów tribe was embedded to the East of the Vistula River, on the Volyn. So the name plemnia Lutyczów is the name of a tribe-Luczesk. After some time, this name becomes Lutsk.

The third version, is the legend about the name pastuchu Lutsk. That was once in the River Styr River this boy zasmołowaną barrel, found in the middle of a document on the establishment of. Since then, the city is called-Lutsk.

Next, the fourth version is, that the settlement got its name from the word bow, that is, from small arms. Because the local inhabitants used these weapons to defend themselves against their enemies, hiding in the old bouncing off attacks using this weapon, Therefore, they called their Łuczany, and the city – Lutsk.

But anyway, most spread version is the one in which he says that the city is Lutsk, in fact the River Styr River, Turning arc omywa in from the East, The South and central part of the West.
