The town of Ludwipol was founded in 1708 after the town of Hubków, which lies 4 km to the east of current day Sosnove, was destroyed during the Swedish invasion of Poland during the Great Northern War. Between World War I and World War II Ludwipol was a capital of the Ludwipol "gmina" in the historic region of Volhynia, and its population was mostly Jewish. The "Wójt" for the gmina during this inter-war period was Marian Chołodecki. Sometime during 1944 the entire town of Ludwipol was burned to the ground in retalition for the killing of some German soldiers by area partisans. The town was rebuilt and renamed Sosnove.
