Semenivka, Chernihiv Oblast

Semenivka (Ukrainian: Семенівка, pronounced [seˈmɛn⁽ʲ⁾iu̯kɐ]; Russian: Семёновка, romanized: Semyonovka) is a small city in Novhorod-Siverskyi Raion, Chernihiv Oblast (province) of Ukraine.

[7] Ancient Semenivka was founded in 1680 by Colonel Starodub Regiment, son of Ukrainian Hetman Ivan Samoilovych.

Though while Semenivka was assigned to Semyon Samoylovych, it was privately owned by Semen Samoilovych and his descendants until 1861.

Because of the advantageous border location and good talent in the households of Semenivka, the town rapidly increased in population, eventually becoming center of the parish which included the surrounding villages.

[8][9] On 21 August 2023 the building of Semenivka City Council was partially destroyed by Russian attack with Shahed drone.

On the river Drest there is a man-made waterway in the natural channel with an area of 5 hectares of surface water.

In the agricultural sectors are Semenovskoe Cereal and Semenov Rayahrohim, having a partnership with private farmers.

There is a powered Semenivka railway station and bus transportation is carried out by several private entities.
