Overview
editHadiach was grantedcity rightsin 1634. It was a city ofKiev Voivodeship,Cossack Hetmanate,andPoltava Governorate.
At times ofCossack Hetmanate,Hadiach was a residence ofUkrainian HetmanIvan Briukhovetsky,election of which saw division of the Hetmanate along theDnieperriver (seeThe Ruin (Ukrainian history)).
Hadiach is one of the main points of interest toHasidicJewsvisiting Ukraine due to the old cemetery that is on the river running through the city, whereShneur Zalman of Liadiis buried.
Until 18 July 2020, Hadiach was designated as acity of oblast significanceand 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.[3][4]
During the 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine, there were skirmishes along this town and a Russian tank reportedly was spotted in thePsel River.[citation needed]
