Zinkiv, Poltava Oblast
Name
In addition to the Ukrainian Зіньків (Zinkiv).
History
The first recorded mention of Zinkiv was in 1604. The city was greatly affected by the Khmelnytsky Uprising, a Cossak rebellion between 1648 and 1657, which was accompanied by mass atrocities that destroyed the Jewish community in Zinkov. The city's importance grew during the 17th century Cossack Hetmanate. After the Polish–Cossack–Tatar War in the late 1660s, the city became an important fortification in the Poltava Regiment.
By the mid-18th century, Hetman Kirill Razumovski had been granted jurisdiction of the city by Empress Elizabeth of Russia.
By the 19th century, Zinkiv had flourishing manufacturing and trading industries.
