History
Dykanka was first mentioned in 1658 as a small village, though the area was populated for centuries.
Within modern Dykanka at different times had traces of settlements of Scythians. Also found the remains of a settlement from the ashes. Found the remains of two settlements VII-VI centuries BC.
In 1430 the land got Tatar Murza Leksada Mansurksanovych, the future Prince Alexander Glinski, and, according to Leo Padalka and other pre-revolutionary (before 1917) historians Dykanka was among his ″settlements″.
It has held the status of urban-type settlement since 1957.
Dykanka is the location of the short story collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka by Nikolai Gogol.[4]
