The city also included a legendary settlement of Zarub that is mentioned in the Hypatian Chronicles of 1096 and 1168.

The first known owner of the territory where village located is starosta of Kaniv and Cherkasy Ostap Dashkevych who lived in the 16th century.

After the death of Dashkevych, the settlement with its adjacent territories was transferred to the Kiev Cave Monastery.

By the mid 16th century it was completely depopulated with a single monk staying at a local monastery.

With the organization of Registered Cossacks of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1578 by the King of Poland Stephen Báthory, the city was given to the administration of the newly formed military force, while next to the local monastery was built a military hospital (1576).
