Novooleksiivka

Novooleksiivka is an urban-type settlement in the Henichesk region featuring residential neighborhoods and industrial facilities distributed across its land. Located roughly 22 meters (72 feet) above sea level, the settlement has a mixed-use layout with defined zones for living and working.

The settlement emerged in the late 19th century when a railway station was established here in 1874 during Russian rule. This rail connection became the catalyst for gradual growth and development of the community around it.

The settlement is a multicultural center where different faiths coexist, marked by the presence of an Orthodox church and a mosque that serve the local population. This religious diversity shapes daily life and community practices.

The settlement is accessible via its road and rail connections, including the historic rail line from the 1800s. Visitors should keep in mind this is a working community where daily life and local activities set the pace.

In January 2024, the settlement underwent an administrative reclassification that transformed its status from an urban-type settlement to a rural designation. This shift reflects ongoing changes in how regional boundaries and categories adapt to current circumstances.
