History
Mglin was first mentioned in 1389, though the settlement it was built on had existed since the 12th century.
During the Khmelnytsky Uprising, Mglin came under the control of Cossack forces and became a sotnia (company town) center within the Nizhyn Regiment, and from 1663, within the Starodub Regiment of the Cossack Hetmanate. In 1658, a Cossack detachment under the command of Ivan Nechay defeated the Russians near Mglin.
In 1760, Empress Elizabeth granted Mglin as a private estate to Kyrylo Rozumovsky, the last Hetman of Cossack Ukraine.
Following the abolition of the Hetmanate’s autonomy in 1781, Mglin became the administrative center of a uyezd (district) within the Novgorod-Seversky Viceroyalty, and in 1802 it was incorporated into the Chernigov Governorate.
During World War II, Mglin was occupied by the German Army from 16 August 1941 to 22 September 1943.
