History
From the 16th century to the early 19th century, it was the home estate of the Niemirycz family.[2] As of 1552 it was a settlement, and by 1600 it was a town.[2] Around 1611, the Niemyricz family established an Arian school in the town.[3]
During World War II, it was occupied by Germany from July 1941 to December 1943.
It was the administrative center of Cherniakhiv Raion until the raion was abolished in 2020. Until 26 January 2024, Cherniakhiv was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Cherniakhiv became a rural settlement.[4]
