History

Foundation The town of Kaniw was founded on the 11th of November, 2023, by the western bank of the Dnipro river. It was founded by doytschReal (formerly known as DeutschNotReal), whom had previously founded the town of Chernihiv, north-east of the town of Kyiv in June of 2022, which had peaked with 105 chunks and 39 residents.

The name Kaniw is the german spelling of what would traditionally be spelt "Kaniv", which was a name already taken by a town in the west of Ukraine.

Early architecture In the early period of Kaniw, it was based on an existing building that had taken 6 chunks, right by the Dnipro river, where the current Kaniw Town Assembely stands. This was the main building of Kaniw for up til the first week of the town's existance. Enbankments for the Dnipro river have been created in the first 1-3 days, alongside projects to fix the rugged terrain that had existed in the area. Attempts were also made to restore the then called "Court of Dnieper" - the house where the town was founded - to a more usable state, as it had layed out of any town claims since atleast November 2022, which had lead it to accumilate damages from various lootings of the building by people passing by, expecially with the town's proximity with Kyiv.
