The village of Drabiv is located 40 kilometers north of Zolotonosha.
It has been known since 1680, when the Pereyaslav colonel Ivan Myrovych founded his farm here. In 1718, his son Fedir Myrovych supported Hetman Ivan Mazepa in the war against Moscow Tsar Peter I on the side of the Swedes, after which the Drabiv farm was transferred by the Tsar to Prince Kantakuzen.
At the end of the 18th century, the village became the property of Count Petro Zavadovskyi, then it was sold to the Baryatinsky landowners. In 1848, Drabiv became a parish, and in 1923 - a district center.
Among the attractions, only a few monuments and the local history museum can be noted.
