Nevel was first mentioned in Ivan the Terrible's will among towns that had been founded during his reign.[2] In 1562, during the Livonian War, it was the site of the Battle of Nevel, in which Poles defeated the Russians. In 1580, it was captured by Polish–Lithuanian forces aided by Hungarian infantry.[12] In 1581, Polish-Russian peace talks were held in the town, to no avail, and the following year it eventually passed to Russia.[13] In 1619, it was recaptured by the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
In 1623, it was granted Magdeburg rights by the Polish–Lithuanian King Władysław IV Vasa. While part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth it was located in the Polotsk Voivodeship of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In 1634, Władysław IV granted Newel to the Radziwiłł family.[13] At the time, there were eight churches, either Catholic or Orthodox, in the town.[13] In 1655, the town was captured by the Russians, and the castle was destroyed, however, it was restored to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1678.[13]
Nevel became part of Russia during the

In early 1919 it was part of the Socialist Soviet Republic of Byelorussia. After 1919, Vitebsk Governorate was a part of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.[16] On March 24, 1924, Vitebsk Governorate was abolished, and Nevel was transferred to Pskov Governorate.[2]
