The village name came from four lakes (Ukrainian: Озерo, romanized: Ozero)[4] that were located in there.
Until the middle of the 20th century there was a hamlet - khutir Svynyntsi (Ukrainian: Свининці) in the west of Ozeryshche,[5] which was mentioned in Ulas Samchuk's book "Moroziv khutir" (1948).[6] It was named Svynyntsi because there were a lot of wild swine (Ukrainian: свині)[7] in surrounding forests.
There is a parish of the Seventh-day Adventist Church[8] although most of religious people in the village are Eastern Orthodox Christians.
