The city of Vinnytsia and its territorial community have a glorious centuries-old history. Remains of ancient settlements indicate that its territory has been inhabited since ancient times. According to the existing historiographical tradition, the city is founded in 1363, when after the victory in the Battle of the Blue Waters (1362) Grand Duke Olgerd of Lithuania, liberating Podillia from the Golden Horde, created the Podillia principality under the rule of Koriatovych princes and ordered to fortify the place. In 1393 the separate Podillia principality was liquidated, and the first Vinnytsia headman was appointed in the city. At the same time, a bourgeois community was formed, the existence of which was legally recognized in the middle of the 15th century. Vinnytsia had the right to own city land, auctions and fairs, trade and industrial establishments and other self-governing rights. From the beginning of the 16th century, the burghers regularly elected viits to govern the city.
