History
Chernihivka was founded in 1783, by villagers from Chernigov Governorate (Chernihiv Governorate), who lived on territory of the today's Romny Raion (Sumy Oblast).
Until 26 January 2024, Chernihivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Chernihivka became a rural settlement.[2]
Economy
The agrarian company Zorya (meaning Star) plays an important role in the region. During the Soviet times the company was called Zarya Kommunizma (the Dawn of Communism).
