Sedniv is famous for being the hometown of the Cossack Lyzohub family. The population of Sedniv suffered from Holodomor and in 1932 it lost its status of town in part due to the effect of the Soviet Union's 'Blackboard Policies'. From 1932-1959 Sedniv was a village.

Sedniv is located at the location of the Ruthenian city of Snovsk that was destroyed by the Tatars in 1239. It is unknown when the town changed its name. It is known that in 1648-1781 it was a district (sotnia) seat of the Chernihiv region (polk).

History

Dolitopysna period (Chronicles)

Current research indicates the settlement called Sedniv in VII.century was named such by Danish colonialists.[2] The prototype was from the name of the Danish settlement Seden.[3] After the conquest of the lands now called Chernihiv by the Rurik Dynasty - the area was subsequently called Snovesk.

The Kyiv State

In the chronicles first mentioned as sources of the ancient city-fortress Snovsk. Near him in 1068 Prince Svyatoslav with three thousand soldiers broke the 12 thousandth Polovtsian army. The name comes from the River Snov ("sleep" - wash, bathe). Folk legend tells other versions of the town's name:

"The devastating hordes of the Crimean Tatars attacked Snovsk, but could not take the city-fortress. The Tartars then called the defending city of Snovsk "Sidnaame"(сидняме), which translated from Tatar language as if to mean evil and brave. Hence - Sedniv."

In the X - XI. centuries, Snovsk was one of the strongholds of Kyivan Rus, the center of a separate administrative unit - Snovskian Thousand.

In the XII-XIII. centuries, Snovsk was part of the Chernihiv principality but later destroyed by Tatars invaders in 1239.

In the mid-XIV. century, the city became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
