History

It was first mentioned in 1626. In 1938, it was granted town status.

Bryansk Oblast was a center of partisan movement during the World War II. In February 1942, Soviet partisans managed to retake power in Dyatkovo and neighboring villages. The area was deeply inside Nazi-occupied territory. The partisans restored Soviet rule and ran a hospital and various shops. The area was retaken by the Nazis in June 1942.

Dyatkovo is most noted for its lead crystal factory, furniture factory, and a largest in the nation Lead Crystal Museum which is actually a museum of artistic glass.
