Abstract

In the article, the author analyses controversial topographical issues connected with Halych. The main aspects of settlement and early statehood of the southern Poland and their research by historians have been investigated. Special attention was paid to explain the origin of the name Halych (of both mountain and town) from the mountain chain which probably served as the border between Poland, Rus and Hungary. The mentions of Halych in the Hungarian-Polish Chronicle and texts by Ian Dlugosh were analyzed. The existing versions of etymology of the name Halych have been specified. The question of the exact location of «castrum Galis» and border tables between Poland and Hungary (with the inscriptions in Cyrillic) which were located in the mountain Halych is still open.
