The place was founded in 1777 as Evdokijowka (named after the name of the widow of the first landowner Eudokia / Evdokija), then renamed to its current name in 1803 (after the rank of the new Cossack owner - Yessaul ) and finally in 1938 it was named an urban-type settlement. Since 1991 it has been part of what is now Ukraine. In 1830 the place was given the status of a market town, at the end of the 19th century, gold deposits were found near the place by Danish geologists, these were subsequently opened up by a mine, but in 1940 these were already exhausted.
