On August 29, 2016, a Mercedes SUV belonging to the Lviv Kholodokombinat OJSC was first blown up in the village with a charge (or mine) planted in the roadway, then shot with automatic weapons. The driver and two security guards were killed. The incident was linked to an attempted assassination of the owner of the company, Bohdan Kopytko.
Until 18 July 2020, Stare Selo belonged to Pustomyty Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Pustomyty Raion was merged into Lviv Raion.
