The settlement was established in 1961 when construction of a cement factory began in what was then the Varvarivka administrative region. In 1968 the place was renamed to honor a decorated war hero.
The settlement's name honors a Soviet war hero and serves as a living reminder of that recognition within the community. Residents maintain a connection to this commemorative identity in their daily lives.
The railway station connects to the Mykolaiv-Tokarivka line, offering transport links to larger cities such as Odesa and Voznesensk. Visitors should plan ahead since train connections operate on a limited schedule.
