The earliest settlements on the territory of the modern city are represented by the archaeological sites "Lipetsk settlement" in the hilly lowland of the Lipovka bend (Voronezh and Abashev culture of the 2nd millennium BC, Gorodets and Sarmatian culture of the 1st millennium AD, late Russian period) and " Lake Lipetsk" (slightly lower) in the floodplain of the Voronezh River (Neolithic, Eneolithic and Bronze Age, V-II millennium BC). Both monuments are now almost completely destroyed by buildings.
In the chronicles, the city with the name Lipovichsk was first mentioned in 1283-1284 in the context of events related to the struggle of Russia against the Mongol-Tatar yoke. In 1284, the city was completely destroyed by the Baskak Akhmat, and over the next few centuries there is no mention of it.
