[1] The earliest evidence of human habitation in the area dates back to the Neolithic period, with the discovery of settlements and bronze artifacts.

During the Scythian period, the region was home to two distinct cultures, each leaving their mark in the form of hillforts and other archaeological sites.

The area near Snovyanka has also yielded evidence of ancient Russian settlements and burial mounds.

The village of Snovianka, also known as Snov-Yanka, takes its name from the local legend of Yanka's daughter who drowned in the Snow River.

During the Soviet era, the village saw development, with the construction of several five-story buildings, a school, and kindergartens.
