Novoyavorovsk is a young town, founded in 1965. During its construction, while building a road, the remains of a soldier's burial ground and a monument were found (the inscription plaque has not survived). Locals associate the site with the Polish-Ukrainian War and consider it a Polish cemetery, as eagles and Polish buttons were found here. The road builders respected the burial ground by marking out the road differently, and fenced off the remains of the war cemetery with chain posts, although the graves have not survived. The monument was left in place.
