View of the train station in town

The village was not established until the end of the 19th century when a train station was built on the railway line from Podilsk to Schmerynka from 1876 (today the Krasne – Odessa railway line ) and in 1938 was given the status of an urban-type settlement. In 1899 a narrow-gauge railway of today's Hajworon narrow-gauge network was opened from the village .

The name of the settlement is derived from the northeastern village of Rudnyzke and means something like Klein-Rudnyzke .
