History

Narodytchi is located in the historic region of Polesia. Narodytchi was first mentioned in historical records in 1545. It attained the status of Urban Commune in 1958.

The Chernobyl disaster in 1986 had an extremely negative impact on all spheres of life in Narodychi. According to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated July 23, 1991 Narodichi was evacuated and was one of the worst hit areas by the radiation, affecting some 93,000 people in the Narodychi town and surrounding raion, 20,000 of which were children.[1] This led to the cessation of all industrial enterprises and one of two secondary schools were closed. On the streets of Narodichi are many abandoned houses and dilapidated buildings of educational and medical institutions, etc.. Vital functions of the town however are gradually being established.
