Drabiv (Ukrainian: Драбів) is a rural settlement in Zolotonosha Raion, Cherkasy Oblast, central Ukraine.
[4] Distribution of the population by native language according to the 2001 census:[5] The first written mention about Drabiv was made in 1680th year, when rich cossack and later Pereyaslav Colonel Ivan Myrovych had taken lands with small khutir, (which was there for a long time before) from a free military steppe on the river Zolotonoshka.
After Sweden's defeat, in accordance with the decree issued by Peter I in 1718, all estates of Myrovych's family, including khutir Drabiv were transferred to duke Kantakuzen.
In 1775 Catherine II granted Drabiv into the eternal and hereditary possession of count Peter Zavadovsky.
On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Drabiv became a rural settlement.
