Location
The town is located near the Syrovatka River which is a left tributary of the Psel River. Krasnopillia is situated in a close proximity to the Russia–Ukraine border.
History
The town appeared in 1640 as a fort of the Belgorod Defense Line which Russian forces erected in Sloboda Ukraine to secure state southern borders from raids of Crimean Tatars and Nogais. Eventually the town developed into a district center of the Sumy Regiment which also served as a regional subdivision of the Sloboda Ukraine. After disbanding the regimental administrative division in 1765, Krasnopillia became a sloboda and a seat of volost (a county subdivision).
In 1901, a railway station was built in Krasnopillia. The town suffered from the Soviet Holodomor in Ukraine.
During World War II it was under German occupation from October 15, 1941 to 1943.
Krasnopillia became an urban-type settlement in 1956.
In January 1989 the population was 9469 people.[2]
In January 2013 the population was 8355 people.[3]
During the first days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, large columns of Russian military vehicles frequently passed through Krasnopillia.[4]
On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished the urban-type settlement status, and Krasnopillia became a rural settlement.[5]
Transportation
Krasnopillia railway station is located on the railway which connects Sumy and Belgorod in Russia crossing the Russian border in Pushkarne. There is infrequent local traffic between Sumy and Pushkarne. There is no passenger traffic across the border.
