Karlivka

First settlers from the right bank of Dnieper arrived on the site of modern Karlivka in the 1670s, founding the settlement of Orchyk, which was part of the first Poltava sotnia of the Poltava Regiment. In the first quarter of the 18th century, the lands of the Poltava Regiment between the Kolomak and Orchyk rivers were given to the general of the Russian army Johann Bernhard Weissbach. After Weisbach's death in 1735, Karlivka was gifted to Field marshal Minikh, who named the settlement Minikhpol.{{Cite web |date=2022-07-20 |title=Як виникло місто Карлівка, де найбільше шанують працю та віковічні традицій - ipoltavets.com |url=https://ipoltavets.com/uk/eternal-yak-vynyklo-misto-karlivka-de-najbilshe-shanuyut-praczyu-ta-vikovichni-tradyczij |access-date=2023-06-23 |language=uk}}
