history
The village was first mentioned in writing in 1780. The valley of the Sawran was for a long time in the troubled Ukrainian border area between Poland-Lithuania and the Khanate of Crimea , so that people did not dare to settle here until the 17th century. As a result, the village was founded as "Rohuska-Chechelnyzka" ( Рогузка-Чечельницька ) as a property of the Polish aristocratic Lubomirski family. In 1793 the village fell to the Russian Empire , along with other areas of right-bank Ukraine . In 1812 Rohuska-Chechelnytska received the status of a city, as well as the name Olgopol after the granddaughter of Catherine the Great , the Grand Duchess Olga Pavlovna (* July 22, 1792, † January 26, 1795). Olhopil became the provincial capital of a Ujesd in the Podolia Governorate and in 1831 a market was opened here. On January 1, 1896, the village had 10,322 inhabitants. In 1923 the village lost its city status.
During the Second World War, the place belonged to Transnistria, which was annexed by Romania . A forced ghetto for the Jewish population was set up in the village, in which Jews from Bessarabia were also imprisoned. In March 1943, 724 people lived in the ghetto, a year later the place was conquered by the Red Army.
