Story

The predecessor of Belopolye was the ancient Russian city of Vir.

Vir is mentioned in chronicles in 1096, and before the Mongol-Tatar devastation it was part of the appanage Novgorod-Seversky principality (part of the Chernigov principality).

At the Virsky settlement near the crossing in the 16th century, a military outpost of the Moscow kingdom appeared, which existed until 1571. The first mention of Belopole dates back to 1672, and even then the settlement was relatively large.

Subsequently, Belopole was both a district center (1780-97) and a provincial town in the Sumy district of the Kharkov province, and in 1923 it became the center of the region.
