Nyzhnia duvanka

Nyzhnia Duvanka lies where the Duvanka and Hnyla streams meet the Krasna, a tributary of the Siverskyi Donets. Settlement appeared in this valley around the turn of the eighteenth century. The sloboda's conventional foundation date is 1732, when Krasnokutsky, a Cossack officer of the Izium regiment, settled his peasants at the Duvanka's mouth. The river valleys formed part of the southern frontier of Sloboda Ukraine.
