The place, whose name means "ash" in German, was first mentioned in writing in 1555 as Kreusmezew . Until 1919 he was part of Hungary in Máramaros County , then briefly the capital of the Hutsul Republic and finally part of Czechoslovakia until 1939 . The saying “Od Jasini do Aše republika je naše” (“From Jassinja to Asch , the republic belongs to us”) comes from this period . In 1910 there were officially 9795 inhabitants of whom 6824 were Russian -speaking, 1484 were German-speaking and 1461 were Hungarian-speaking. After becoming part of the Soviet Union in 1945, on May 30, 1947 it was granted the status of urban-type settlement .
