History
The first written mention is in 1463.
In 1963 the villages of Zaruddia and Obaryntsi were united under the name of Kobzarivka - in honor of Taras Shevchenko.
There is a church of St. Apostle John the Theologian (1906, brick; reconstructed in 2003). The church has been preserved (1910, destroyed during the First World War; rebuilt in 1919).
Near the village there is a botanical natural heritage site Kobzarivska Zozulyntseva area.
Until 18 July 2020, Kobzarivka belonged to Zboriv Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ternopil Oblast to three. The area of Zboriv Raion was merged into Ternopil Raion.[2][3]
