Sokolets

Sokolets is a village in the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast (province) of western Ukraine. It is located in the Verkhovyna Raion (district). The village is situated in the Carpathian Mountains region.

The name "Sokolets" likely derives from the Ukrainian word "sokoly" (соколи), meaning "falcons." This suggests the presence of falcons or falconry activities in the area's history.

The village, like many in the Ukrainian Carpathians, likely has a history rooted in forestry, animal husbandry (particularly sheep and cattle), and traditional crafts. Its remote location has probably contributed to the preservation of aspects of Hutsul culture and traditions.

Detailed information about Sokolets, such as its population, infrastructure, or specific historical events, may be limited or require sourcing from Ukrainian-language resources and local archives.
