"The square panel consists of two equal vertical strips -
red from a staff and blue from an edge; in the middle of it is
yellow eight-beam star, in the bottom part from a staff is a
white Volyn' paty cross, in the bottom part from free edge is
yellow sun with a smiling human face."
"For the first time it is mentioned in 1493 as the property
of Zbaraz'ky princes. The name occurs from a word "to
drag" ("volochyty") - here there was a ferry
through Zbruch river. It was necessary to forward cargoes. The
first name is Volochysche.
In 1775 it received the privilege on carrying out of fairs. On
the city stamp of 1793 was represented the patroness of a city of
St.Agate on the cloud, in the right hand she holds a palm branch,
in the left - a bowl with fire."
