Znobov

Znobov, later known as Znob-Novhorodske, lies in the forest country northeast of Novhorod-Siverskyi. Known as Znoba in the lands of Rus', it belonged to the Novhorod-Siverskyi principality. In the Cossack period it was attached to the Novhorod-Siverskyi company and then to the Starodub regiment. Hetman Ivan Skoropadsky granted Znoba to the local archpriest in 1717; in 1782 it entered a new district after the regimental system was abolished.
