==History== A defensive fortification against the Tatars existed on the location during the 16th century. The settlement was founded in 1662 as a small sloboda and Bogodukhov ostrog by Ukrainian Cossacks under command of otaman Tymofiy Krysa. It has been a town since 1681. In 1709, at the time of the Russo-Swedish War, it was taken by Menshikov and tsarevich Alexius.
