Zmiiv, Administrative city in Chuhuiv Raion, Ukraine
Zmiiv sits along the Southern Railway line in the Kharkiv Oblast region, surrounded by agricultural lands and industrial facilities at an elevation of 93 meters.
The settlement, established between 1180 and 1185, developed into a fortified outpost during the 1550s to defend against Tatar raids from the southern steppes.
The city name derives from Ukrainian snake folklore, reflected in regional tales and the ancient defensive structure known as the Serpent's Wall.
The Zmiiv station connects travelers to Kharkiv through regular train services, while local industries include paper manufacturing and machine building enterprises.
The Zmiiv Paper Mill, constructed between 1891 and 1893, represents one of the earliest industrial developments in the eastern Ukrainian region.
