the surname of Mikhailo Vorohta who had settled here at the end of the XVIIth century. Vorokhta was a deserter from the Polish army, and therefore he did not return to Transcarpathian region, where he was born. Michailo Vorokhta was an able master and made a loom for one young lady with whom he later got married. Since then the Weaving Crafts of Vorokhta began to develop rapidly, and people for a sign of gratitude and love to master, called the village by his name.
Village Vorokhta started developing and became particularly as a resort after the railway in 1884. The recreation facility was opened in 1906, called “the first sanatorium”, then in the Soviet period it was renamed as the” Mountain Air”, which operates up to now. In 1928 Vorokhta was officially recognized as a resort for patients with tuberculosis and lung disease. Until now residents from different parts of Ukraine receive treatment here. However, the village develops as a center of winter sports and tourism. In 1930, during the Polish government, two ramps were built in Vorokhta – for children and adults, which have acquired international importance.
