Lypova Dolyna

Lypova Dolyna stands where the Lypivka meets the Khorol. Its name means Linden Valley, and the settlement appeared on Guillaume Le Vasseur de Beauplan's map printed in 1647. A record from that year counted about 150 households. In the later seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the village belonged to the Myrhorod and Hadiach Cossack regiments, whose companies administered the surrounding country. By the early nineteenth century it had three churches and held fairs three times a year, drawing buyers and sellers to the river valley.
