Bila (uk|Біла) is a village in Ternopil Raion, Ternopil Oblast of Western Ukraine.
The existence of the village became known in the second half of the 16th century, in a document of the Polish magnate Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski, where the fields that at that time belonged to Tarnopol were registered. In 1884, Oleksander Barvinsky launched one of the main cultural centers in the area here. In 1912, the first Ternopil airfield was established in Bila, where some of the first flight demonstrations in present-day Ukraine were made. Until the creation of the current municipality in 2018, the town formed a rural council on its own.[2] [3]
Bila is located on the northern outskirts of the regional capital Ternopil, at the exit of the city from the P39 road leading to Brody. The village is separated from the capital by the Ternopil-Vantazhnyi railway station and the adjoining industrial estate.[4]
In 2007, 2,927 people lived in the village.[5]
