Місто Конотоп розташоване в 30 кілометрах від траси Київ-Москва, великий залізничний вузол.
Ймовірно, в XII-XIII століттях тут був центр літописного Липовецького князівства. За легендою, в цих місцях татаро-монгольська кіннота потрапила в болота й потонуло безліч вершників з кіньми, звідки пішла назва.
Місто відоме з 1638 року як польська фортеця, в 1648 році звільнене військами Богдана Хмельницького. У 1659 році в околицях відбулася Конотопська битва, в якій українсько-татарське військо гетьмана Івана Виговського розгромило московські війська Олексія Трубецького.
Популярність місто отримало завдяки сатиричній повісті Квітки-Основ'яненка "Конотопська відьма".
