## History

The date of establishment of the town Lypova Dolyna is not known, but it was first mentioned sometime in 17th century as a village of Magnate Jeremi Wiśniowiecki in Kiev Voivodeship. Its name Lypova Dolyna (Linden Valley) has derived from local river Lypivka.

In 1647 the village contained 150 dwelling yards (households). The population of the village actively participated in the Khmelnytsky Uprising after which it became part of Myrhorod Regiment (one of administrative divisions of Cossack Hetmanate).

In 1658 Lypova Dolyna was raided by Tatars. Later it was a private estate of various Cossack officers (starshina). In 1764 the Russian Empress Catherine the Great gave away Lypova Dolyna to Kirill Razumovski who surrendered his Hetmanate authority the same year. In 1785 the village was sold to the Russian Treasury.

During World War II it was under German occupation.
