History
The first mentioning of Cherkasy dates back to 1394, when it was a reinforced town on the southern borders of Kyiv lands. Cossacks settled around the town and people started calling them Cherkasy after the town name. In Russian documents of the 16-17th century all Ukrainians were called Cherkasy in general.
There are several explanations of the city name, and one of them proves that many historical documents of the 16-17th centuries use two words cherkasy and cossacks, which had the same meaning free horsemen. Indeed, the entire history of the town is inseparable from the history of Ukrainian Cossacks.
For the first time the name of Cherkasy was found under the date of 1394, when the town was already the well protected fortress on the territory subordinated to Lithuania. In the 15-16th centuries the role of Cherkasy as a protecting stronghold against Tatars and Turks greatly increased. Its castle that stood on the place of the Glory Hill was one of the strongest in this area. In the mid 17th century the town became a central fort of the Cherkasy Cossack regiment and many important historical events took place here during the period of the liberation war for Ukrainians against the Polish oppression in 1648-1654.
At the beginning of the 19th century the town developed along the river and was often flooded in warm seasons. In 1815 the first general plan of the town was proposed to the citizens. In the first half of the 20th century Cherkasy looked like a typical small provincial town.
