History[edit]

The territory was first settled in 1600 as the Chornukhynskyi Post (Ukrainian: Чорнухинський пост) of the Kalmius Palanka of the Zaporizhian Sich cossack territory.[2] In 1778, the settlement was a sloboda, and in 1892 it became a village.[2] It was granted the status of an urban-type settlement in 1938.[2]
