First Partition of Poland in 1772 until 1918, the town (named
Tłumacz) was part of the
Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the
compromise of 1867), head of the district with the same name, one of the 78
Bezirkshauptmannschaften in

The
Peace of Riga in 1921, confirmed the Polish possession of Galicia. Tłumacz was the seat of a
Powiat (district) in the
Second Polish Republic. In 1921, its population was around 5,000, consisting 3,319 Poles, 1,395 Jews, 999 Ukrainians. The Ukrainians dominated in the villages around the town. Following the joint German-Soviet
invasion of Poland, which started
World War II in September 1939, the village was
occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, then by Germany until 1944, and re-occupied by the Soviet Union, which annexed it from Poland in 1945. The Germans, with the assistance of local Ukrainians, murdered the Jews. Only about 30 Jews survived. Poles who survived the war were forced by the Soviets to leave Tlumacz after 1945. Most of them settled in
Lower Silesia; they organized themselves into the Association of Inhabitants of Tlumacz, which is located in
Wrocław. Until 18 July 2020, Tlumach was the administrative center of
Tlumach Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast to six. The area of Tlumach Raion was merged into Ivano-Frankivsk Raion. ;Local orientation ;Regional orientation == Notable people==
