General information about Snovsk

The city of Snovsk on the Snov River is located 65 kilometers northeast of Chernihiv.

It has been known since 1861 as the village of Korzhivka, founded by the peasant Korzh. It was developed at the beginning of the 20th century during the construction of the Homel - Bakhmach railway. Since 1924, it was called Snovsk. In 1934, it was renamed to Shchors in honor of the Bolshevik Shchors, a red commissar who was born here in 1895.

The historical name of Snovsk was returned to the city in 2016. There is a large railway depot.

In 1961, the historical department of the museum was opened in a separate building with a local history exposition from ancient times to modern history. The exposition presents objects that tell about the first human settlements on the territory of the region, folk crafts and crafts, ethnographic features of the area.
