history

The development of the village was favored by its location on the Kerensk tract , a trade route that led into the regionally important city of Kerensk (today the village of Vadinsk ) until the 19th century .

The connection to the railway network with the opening of the Kustarjowka  - Vernadowka line in 1893 was also significant .

In 1928 the place became the center of a newly created Rajons, in 1938 it received the status of an urban-type settlement.
