The town (located 35 km (22 mi) northwest of Ternopil, and 85 km (53 mi) southeast of Lviv) lies on Strypa River (Ukrainian: Cтpипа).
It was mentioned for the first time in a document from 1166. In 1241, during the Mongol invasion of Europe, it was ransacked and destroyed. In 1639, Zboriv was granted city rights. Its present name comes from a noble Polish family of Zborowscy. Ten years later, Zboriv was besieged by the Tartar-Cossack armies during the Khmelnytsky Uprising. In 1913, Zboriv had about 6000 inhabitants, including 2400 Ukrainians, 1300 Poles and 2300 Jews. During World War I, area around the town was the place of heavy battles between the Czechoslovak legionnaires and the Austrian Army (June 1917). After the Polish-Ukrainian war 1918-1919, it became part of Poland and was the seat of a powiat of the Tarnopol Voivodeship.
Zboriv was the site of mass murder, conducted by the Einsatzgruppen, along with local Ukrainians, in 1941. Information about the Jewish community destroyed during the Holocaust can be found in a Yizkor book published by Jews who fled Zborow and survived the Holocaust.
