In the past, two settlements, Zhuravka and Yurasivka were in Cossack Hetmanate. Zhuravka village was named after the Zhuravka River (Журавка), on which it is located. In late 17th century, these villages belonged to Andriy Hamaliya, whose son was a like-minded person and supporter of Ivan Mazepa. After the Battle of Poltava (1709) tsar Peter I gave these villages to landowner Golovin, whose descendants sold them later to the Kochubey family.[1]
In early 1830's Zhuravka, Yurasivka and their surroundings were bought by industrialist M. Tereshchenko. He founded a sugar refinery, which operated until 1995.[1][2] A new settlement was formed as the factory workers settled nearby. Tereshchenko named this after his son Mykhailo.[1] Name Khutir-Mykhailivskyi was first used in 1855 linked to construction of sugar refinery.[4] The settlements Yurasivka and Khutir-Mykhailivskyi were then part of Glukhovsky Uyezd in Chernigov Governorate of the Russian Empire.[1] Narrow-gauge railway was built in 1860s from line Voronezh-Zernovye. In 1907 additional railway lines were built; thus Khutir-Mykhailivskyi became a hub station.[1]
In the villages subordinated to Mykhailivka Village Council, peasants were forcibly driven into collective farms in 1929–1930.
In 1932–1933 those peasants survived the Stalinist genocide of Ukrainians. During World War II, Druzhba was occupied by Axis troops from October 1941 to August 1943. There was a concentration camp in which 17 thousand people died.[1][4]
In 1956 (or 1958) Khutir-Mykhailivskyi was given a status of urban-type settlement.[5][4] There was a sugar plant, a cinder block factory, three secondary schools, five libraries, a club and a stadium.[5]
The city of Druzhba was founded in the 1962 when three settlements Zhuravka, Yurasivka and Khutir Mykhailivskyi were merged together.[1][4][2][6] It was part of Yampil Raion until summer 2020, when it became part of larger Shostka Raion.
There are three schools in the city — two comprehensive I-III degrees and one comprehensive I-II degrees, a nursery-kindergarten, two hospitals, a pharmacy, a house of culture, a railwaymen club, a branch of Yampil Music and children's and youth sports schools. There are also four library establishments, a museum of local artifacts, and a stadium. There are two Orthodox churches.
In the center of the city, at the square of Eternal Glory, a memorial was erected for soldiers who died during the Second World War, there is also the tomb of an unknown soldier and mass graves.
On 3 April 2024, the Committee on the Organization of State Power, Local Self-government, Regional Development, and Urban Planning in the Verkhovna Rada stated their support for renaming the city to Zhuravske (Журавське).[7] On 19 September 2024, the Verkhovna Rada voted to rename Druzhba to Khutir-Mykhailivskyi.[8]
