In 1885, Baluchyn's proprietor was lord Henrich who had mansion in neighboring village Kutkir. There were one class state school and public service loan in Baluchyn.

Until 18 July 2020, Baluchyn belonged to Busk 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 Busk Raion was merged into Zolochiv Raion.[3][4]
