The settlement gained its urban-type classification in 1925 following a Soviet decree that established new categories for population centers. This official status marked an important recognition of its administrative role in the region.

The area experiences a continental climate with distinct seasons and varying weather patterns. Visitors should come prepared for changing conditions and pack appropriate clothing for the season.
In June 2020, the settlement underwent administrative reorganization when it transferred from Makiivka City Council governance to Makiivka Hromada. This shift was part of a broader decentralization reform initiative in Ukraine.
