In 1629 Borshchiv by royal privilege was granted Magdeburg right, according to which the city received its self-governance and coat of arms (picture of the ancient emblem was not revealed yet). During the 27 years (1672-1699) Borshchiv was under Turk- ish rule. As a result of first partition of in 1772, Borshchiv fell under the power of Austria. First Borshchiv County was a part of , and then to districts. In 1892, the first big industrial company - a tobacco plant began to work in the city , and in 1897 the railroad Chortkiv - Ivane- Puste was laid through Borshchiv.
