History
Founding and early history
Originally known as Tsarevodar, the village was founded in 1846 by immigrants from the western provinces of the Russian Empire, namely those of Vilna, Grodno, and Podilska. The original name of Tsarevodar reflects the fact that the land for the village came from the state's fund, and hence the Tsar's.
As of 1886, 1,368 people lived in the village, which contained a prayer house, a school, and two shops.[1]
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
The city was occupied by the Russian armed forces following the Battle of Kherson in early 2022. During the 2022 Ukrainian southern counteroffensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated the town.
