For the first time it was mentioned in Ipatiiv chronicles 1100.
The origin of the name comes from its situation on a high bank of
the Vilia river where the riverside hills make an acute bend -
"ostroh".
Ostroh was a significant cultural center of Ukraine. In the XVI
century in the town there was opened a Greek-Slavonic school. In
the school they taught Slavonic, Greek and Latin languages,
grammar, arithmetic, logic, rhetoric.
At the end of 1574 I.Fedorov on the prince Ostrovs'kys means had
founded a printing-house where he issued an ABC-book (1578), New
Testament with Psalter (1580) and the first complete issue of
Bible in Old Ukrainian - "Ostroz'ka Bible". In 1603
there were three printing houses that issued more than 20 works
of scientists of those days. The town was a residence of the
Ukrainian magnates Ostroz'kyis till 1620.
