The village of Shchyrets on the Shchyrka River is located 10 km northwest of Pustomyty.

It was first mentioned in 1113 as an ancient Rus city that had a complex system of fortifications. After the Mongol-Tatar invasion, Shchyrets was revived as a Polish town, which was granted Magdeburg rights in 1397. At the same time, the church of Saint Stanislav was founded, which later was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt anew.

In 1772, the city, which at that time belonged to the Potocki family, became part of Austria-Hungary. In 1873, the Lviv - Stryi railway was laid through Shchyrets. At the beginning of the 19th century, the city became the property of Baron Krihshaber, whose family owned it until the end of the century.

Вперше згадується в 1113 році як давньоруське місто, яке мало складну систему укріплень. Після монголо-татарської навали Щирець відродився вже як польське містечко, якому в 1397 році було надано Магдебурзьке право. Тоді ж було засновано костел Святого Станіслава, який пізніше неодноразово руйнувався і відбудовувався наново.

В XIV-XVIII століттях Щирець входив у володіння польських магнатів - спочатку Тарновських, потім Мнішеків, Войтановских. Від середньовічного замку на Золотій (Церковній) горі залишилися фрагменти фортифікацій, що увійшли пізніше в архітектурний комплекс церкви Різдва Пресвятої Богородиці. З ти ...

В 1772 році місто, що належало на той момент роду Потоцьких, увійшло до складу Австро-Угорщини. В 1873 році через Щирець було прокладено залізницю Львів - Стрий. На початку XIX століття місто перейшло у власність барона Крігсгабера, родина якого володіла ним до кінця століття.

Після Другої світової війни, коли було знищено майже все єврейське населення, місто деякий час було райцентром, потім увійшов до складу іншого району.
