The village's name comes from the nearby salt mine.

History

Solotvyno was first mentioned c. 1360 (the former one was burned down by the Tatars in 1241). In 1910, the town had a population of 2330, the grand majority of whom were Hungarians. Current population: 8,391 (2022 estimate)[1]. In 1920, the town became part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia, in 1939 it returned to Hungary. The large Jewish population died in the Holocaust, while the region belonged to the German occupied Hungary. After World War II, Solotvino became part of the Soviet Union.

The town is the final stop of the Ukrainian section of the railway, which runs from Lviv to Transcarpathia. The village has an original museum of salt miners.
