history

In 1701 a Sloboda (handicraft and trading village) Sybkaja was mentioned in a document, which was founded around 1686 by the old Orthodox . Later the name Sypkow was also used.

After moving to a less flood-prone area, Novo- (Russian for new ) was placed in front of the place name. On February 11, 1809 the town charter was granted. After the first factory was built in 1864, the city developed into one of the most important centers for matchmaking in Russia with over ten plants by the beginning of the 20th century . In the turmoil after the October Revolution of 1917, this branch of industry came to a complete standstill.

During the Second World War Novosybkow was occupied by the German Wehrmacht on August 16, 1941 and recaptured on September 25, 1943 by troops of the Bryansk Front and the Central Front of the Red Army while advancing from Bryansk towards Chernihiv and Pripyat .
