Sumy was founded in 1652 at
the bank of the Psel River (a left tributary
of the Dnieper) as a Cossack fortress. It
was intended to protect Sloboda Ukraine
from the Crimean Tatar attacks. After their
attacks discontinued and the territory was
incorporated into the Russian Empire, Sumy
evolved into an important economical centre.
During the German occupation of Ukraine
during World War II (1941 - 1943), Sumy
sustained heavy damage. The war over, destroyed
parts of the city were rebuilt anew. Sumy
is a twin town of Celle, Germany since January
17, 1990.
