Overview
Hadiach was granted city rights in 1634. At various times it was administratively located in the Kiev Voivodeship, Cossack Hetmanate, and Poltava Governorate. It was the place of signing of the Treaty of Hadiach in 1658. In 1661 it was granted by the Sejm of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth to Yurii Khmelnytsky.[2]
At times of Cossack Hetmanate, Hadiach was a residence of Ukrainian Hetman Ivan Briukhovetsky, election of which saw division of the Hetmanate along the Dnieper river (see The Ruin (Ukrainian history)).
Hadiach is one of the main points of interest to Hasidic Jews visiting Ukraine due to the old cemetery that is on the river running through the city, where Shneur Zalman of Liadi is buried.
During World War II, in August and September 1943, the German occupiers operated the Dulag 124 prisoner-of-war camp in the town.[3]
Until 18 July 2020, Hadiach was designated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to Hadiach Raion even though it was the center of the raion. As part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Poltava Oblast to four, the city was merged into Myrhorod Raion.[4][5]
During the 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine, there were skirmishes along this town and a Russian tank reportedly was spotted in the Psel River.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
