In 981, the area where the village is located was probably conquered in Lachy and taken over by Włodzimierz, from then until the 14th century it was part of Kievan Rus. In 1018, they were re-incorporated into the Polish State by Bolesław Chrobry as part of the geographic land called Grody Czerwieńskie in historiography. In 1038, the Cherven Castles were again taken over for Ruthenia by Jarosław Mądry. These lands returned to Poland for a short time in the 1170s, when they were annexed by Bolesław the Bold. From the middle of the 13th century, the areas where, among others, Sławatycze was the subject of Polish-Ruthenian, Polish-Lithuanian and Ruthenian-Lithuanian conflicts. These areas returned to Poland once again in 1282, when they were taken over by Prince Leszek the Black. In the second half of the 13th century and the first half of the 14th century, it was part of the Principality of Halicko-Volhynia.

As a result of internal conflicts, the aggressive policy of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the interest of Polish princes in these lands, the Principality of Halych-Volhynia fell into a deep crisis, which led to its collapse and division between Poland and Lithuania. The area where Sławatycze is located was a flashpoint in the mutual relations between the Crown and the Grand Duchy.

In Sławatycze, the tradition of "bearded men" is cultivated. On the last three days of the year, young men dress up in costumes consisting of a hat decorated with an intricate high construction of flowers made of tissue paper, a mask, a sheepskin coat and straw "trousers". In such attire, they carol around houses and accost passers-by, especially young women, wishing them well. This custom is promoted by the local Community Center of Culture, which organizes competitions for the most interesting costumes
