history

In the 1850s , predominantly Ukrainian farmers settled in the area of ​​today's town on the territory of the Gardachi river , previously inhabited only by nomadic Kalmyks from the Astrakhan governorate . The place, initially named after the river, was given the official status of Selo (German village) in 1864. It was later given its current name, Russian for beautiful .

As part of an administrative reform, Divnoje became the administrative center of a newly created Rajon in 1924. In 1930, in the area around Divnoje with several surrounding villages, one of the "special zones" (Spezsona) was created , in which expropriated " kulaks " and other farmers from the entire North Caucasus were forcibly resettled with their families in the course of the collectivization of agriculture . The zone existed until 1946. In this context, Divnoye Raion was dissolved, but restored in January 1935, albeit with the administrative center in the village of Mitrofanovskoye 25 kilometers south-east . In August 1935, the village and Rajon were given their current name after the civil war hero and later army general Iossif Apanassenko (1890-1943) who was born there .

During the Second World War Divnoje was occupied in August 1942 by the 16th Infantry Division (motorized) of the German Wehrmacht as they advanced on Elista and recaptured on January 18, 1943 by the southern front of the Red Army .

In the 1950s, the district administration was moved back to Divnoye.
