Heraldry:
"For the first time it is mentioned at 1504. There is a
legend about Hubkiv castle where prince who had very beautiful
daughter lived. She has grown fond of the poor guy from other
coast of the river. Prince has forbidden to them to meet, and has
put the daughter in a high tower of the castle. However at night
the girl and the guy became falcons and took off on a meeting.
Having learned about it, old prince has damned them, and they
forever have remained birds and have lodged in mountains which
since began to name Falcon. From first half XVI century
proprietors Hubkova were Semashko, in XVII century it passes to
Danylovychi. In 1708 the Hubkiv castle was destroyed by
Swedes."
