History
History
Voronizh was first mentioned in 1177. In 1854 a sugar refinery was established in the settlement, followed by an oil factory. Until 26 January 2024, Voronizh was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Voronizh became a rural settlement.
