==History== Lubny is reputed to be one of the oldest cities in Ukraine, allegedly founded in 988 by knyaz (prince) Vladimir the Great (Volodymyr) of Kyiv. The first written record, however, dates from 1107, when a battle against the Polovtsians took place nearby. The settlement was originally known as Luben (). Initially, it was a small wooden fortress above the Sula River.
