There are several versions of the origin of the village name Kyselytsi.

According to another version, the name comes from the name of Mr. Kysel, who owned fields and forests in the area.
The first mention of the village of Kyselytsi dates back to the 18th century. In 1869, Kyselytsi was mentioned as a suburb of the town of Putyla, and in 1890 it became a separate village. In 1869 the village had 179 houses with a population of 628 people. In 1843-1848, the village was the center of the Lukian Kobylitsa uprising against the Austrian authorities. The poet Yurii Fedkovych also lived in the village for some time.
After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the village, like the rest of Northern Bukovyna, came under Romanian occupation, and in 1940 it was incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the village was again occupied by Romania, which was an ally of Nazi Germany. After the liberation in 1944, the village of Kyselytsi became part of the Putyla district of the Chernivtsi region.
