EN Historical background
Founded in 1909 by a group of settlers from the Kherson governorate under the leadership of khodok (scout) G.P. Terebilo on the Cherny Dol tract.

Fesenko and R.G. Buryak. By 1928, the village consisted of 201 households with a population of 1,144 people, predominantly Ukrainians. In 2026, the number of residents was 274.
