Hadiach was granted city rights in 1634. It was a city of Kyiv Voivodeship, Cossack Hetmanate, and Poltava Governorate.
At times of Cossack Hetmanate, Hadiach was a residence of Ukrainian Hetman Ivan Briukhovetsky, election of which saw division of the Hetmanate along the Dnieper river (see The Ruin (Ukrainian history)).
Hadiach is one of the main points of interest to Hasidic Jews visiting Ukraine due to the old cemetery that is on the river running through the city, where Shneur Zalman of Liadi is buried. Until 2020 was a administrative center of Hadyach Raion.
