Mala Vyska

Mala Vyska lies beside the Mala Vys, a river in the Southern Bug basin. In the eighteenth century a settlement developed here as people moved into the forest-steppe and steppe frontier. It was known as Kudasheve after its landowner, and its later name came from the river. The waters of the Vys run west towards the Synyukha, linking the locality with the larger rivers of the region.
