History

Incorporated in 1798, the village developed from a farm that was founded in 1770. It then bore the name Zherebets (Жеребець) until 1939, then the name Kirove (Ukrainian: Кірове; Russian: Кирово, Kirovo) until 12 May 2016 when it was renamed to the current name to comply with decommunization in Ukraine. The village has a railway station on the railway line Zaporizhzhia–Polohy.
