history
The origin of the village dates back to the second half of the 16th century, when peasants resettled by Poles from the historic Brazlavschtschyna ( Брацлавщина ) region in eastern Podolia settled on an island in the Savranka River after they founded the village of Pestschanoe ( Песчаное ). The village of Zurkanowka ( Цуркановка ) arose on the right bank of the river . In the first half of the 17th century the two villages merged to form a settlement called Peschanaya. In 1846 the village received the status of a small town and became a Volost center in Ujesd Balta.
The name of the village Pishchana (German: "Sandy") comes from the sandy soil on the left bank of the river.
