history
Fragments of pots and stone tools from the late Stone Age were found in the municipality, and during the Bronze Age, in the middle of the 2nd millennium BC, there were already four settlements here.
The town, first mentioned in writing in 1646, was founded by the Cossacks and, thanks to its abundance of fish and game, grew into a prosperous town with 17 large water mills, a daily market and four annual fairs, in which four Orthodox churches were built over time.
In 1675, 1696 and 1796 Keleberda was destroyed by the Tartars and on April 16, 1709, the village was conquered and destroyed by Russian troops on the orders of Peter the Great . For its monument base in Poltava , the granite was broken in 1804. In 1843 Taras Shevchenko visited the village. At the census of 1859 there were 595 houses with a total of 4952 inhabitants in the village.
During the Great Patriotic War , Soviet troops of the 92nd Guards Rifle Division of the 37th Army of the Steppe Front began to cross the Dnieper on September 29, 1943 during the Battle of the Dnieper near Keleberda . According to official figures, 32,000 people were killed in these fights.
