Tatars in the 13th century. Burials from the times of
Kyivan Rus (12th-13th centuries) have been discovered on the territory of Baznikovka. The village was first mentioned in documents from 1731 and by the 1880s, Stanislav Pototsky was the owner of the farm. During the 20th century, many of the residents of Baznikivka were involved in the Ukrainian resistance movement, including the USS Legion, UGA,
Halychyna division, and the
Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Many soldiers of the
Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and UPA died in the village. In the 1930s, the OUN "troika" was created in the village with the help of teacher Olena Skaskiv. By the end of 1939, the local branch of the OUN included a large number of members, and the village was the center of the OUN field command. During the
German occupation, several residents volunteered for the Halychyna division and fought bravely. After the Second World War, some of the soldiers were sent to Western Ukraine and died in battle with the Enkavedists. In 1952, the village underwent an administrative reform, and the previously separate hamlets of Hirovytsia and Sokolytsia were annexed to the village. For 30 years, every summer, a training and recreation camp named "Lysonya" after I. Gavdydy was held near the Sokolytsia farm, attended by plastuns from all over Ukraine and members of various Christian organizations. From 1939 to 2017, the village was part of the Saranchukiv Village Council. As a result, it became part of the newly established Saranchukiv village community. After the Berezhan district was dissolved on July 19, 2020, the village was incorporated into the
Ternopil district ==Population==
