History Dashava is known as one of the first historical locations of natural gas production in Europe. In 1926–1929 a gas pipeline with a length of 81 kilimeters connected the settlement with Lviv. Before the Second World War, Stryi was also connected to gas supplies from Dashava. Following the war, in 1946-1948 a pipeline was established between Dashava and Kyiv, and by 1955 gas supplies from Dashava reached Moscow. Later a connection with Minsk and Leningrad was constructed.
Until 26 January 2024, Dashava was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Dashava became a rural settlement.
Economy Dashava gas field is located in the area.
Transportation The closest railway station, approximately north of the settlement, is in Khodovychi, on the railway line connecting Stryi with Khodoriv. There is infrequent passenger traffic.
Dashava is connected by roads with Stryi, Zhydachiv, and Zhuravne, where it has further access to Lviv, Ternopil, and Uzhhorod.
