Yampil (Ukrainian: Ямпіль; Russian: Ямполь) is a rural settlement in Lyman urban hromada, Kramatorsk Raion,[1] Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine.

[3] Historical records indicate that the lands of present-day Yampil belonged to the Sviatohirsk Lavra monastery, which was established under the protection of the settlements of Sukhariv [uk], Repin Yurt, and Khrestovskyi (Raihorodok).

In 1712, Yampil was designated as an outpost for Russian imperial dragoons tasked with guarding the Torsk Bakhmut salt works.

During the 1720s, severe flooding from the Donets caused significant damage, prompting the village to relocate to higher ground nearby.

When Emperor Alexander I ascended to the throne in 1801, all military equipment, including cannons, was removed from Yampil.

After the abolition of the Slobid Cossack regiments [uk] in 1765 and the establishment of the Kharkov Governorate, Yampil became part of the Izyumsky Uyezd within this province.

In 1848, cattle disease devastated local farms, and scurvy also affected Yampil in 1849, causing five deaths among non-locals.

In 1725, Yampil already had its own, Mykolaiv Church, whose priest was ordained, at the request of the parishioners, Athanasius Pavlov (in 1744 he transferred to the Khotmyzhsk monastery).

In 1731, as a result of the request of sotnik Stepan Gukovsky with the foreman, and priest Athanasius Pavlov, it was allowed to move the Polish Mykolaiv Church to a new place, in the "Old Village".

For this, an imperial decree was issued from 11 August 1732 year, which was ordered to search for schismatics and bring their hiders to trial.

Yampil belonged to the Kharkiv Diocese [uk] and was part of the fourth district Izyumsky Uyezd.

[14] [15] Lisove Namysto (Ukrainian: Лісове намисто) is a forestry and trail, was built in 2011 and is located near the ostrich farm.

Yampil is known in the region as a place where strawberries are grown en masse, because the climate and sandy soils are the most favorable for this berry.
