The village Long is located in 28 km from Irshava, on river banks of Borzhava. First written mentions of the settlement of Gossumezo (угорс. Hosszúmez ő) belong before 1383. This name is translated from Ukrainian as "the Long Field" or Dolgopola. On a legend, such name is connected with a name of the local hero Dovgai.
Very long time ago the settlement was attacked by Tatars, plundered and killed people. Subsequently in the village the strong and bystry guy by the name of Dovgay grew up. Once during the Tatar attack of Dovgay began to throw into enemies of a tree as stones. Enemies were surprised with force of Dovgai, decided to receive a victory cunning and offered fight with the Tatar Kyzyl. Conditions of fight were such: if the victory is won by Dovgay - that enemies never to attack the village and if the Tatar wins - all this peasants will give in without a fight. The victory in fight was won by Dovgay, and the lost Kyzyl was spread on the earth. Birds carried a body on the mountains and there bushes with red-brown fruits of a cornel appeared. Here so, in the territory of Dovgy, Priborzhavsky and Lisichev the cornel grows. Peasants are grateful for a victory Dovgai granted the right to accept lands so much how many it will be able to bypass in a day. The young man climbed down a mountain the Mumps and in a day a run rather big territory and lodged on the plain. Subsequently still people who founded the village in the valley of the river Borzhava came from mountains. And the village began to call in honor of Dovgai - Long.
