The first settlements on the outskirts of the city date back to the Mesolithic and Neolithic. It was at that time that human settlement began on the Mezha riverbank. In the XII century the territory, on which the city is situated now, was part of the Smolensk principality. During the period of feudal fragmentation the lands passed to the Principality of Toropets. In the middle of the XIV century the lands were seized by Lithuanian princes.
Under the 1449 treaty the border between Russia and Lithuania passed along the Mezha river. The territory of the future city was still subjected to the Lithuanian princes.
