History
Administratively, since 1776 the area belonged to Khersonsky Uyezd, which was shuffled between different governorates of the Russian Empire: Yekaterinoslav Viceroyalty until 1795, Voznesensk Viceroyalty until 1796, Novorossiya Governorate until 1803, Kherson Governorate until 1920, Nikolayev Governorate until 1921, and Odessa Governorate until 1923, when uyezds were abolished in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic; the governorates were divided into okruhas. In 1923, Bereznehuvate Raion of Kherson Okruha, with the administrative center in Bereznehuvate, was established. In 1925, the governorates were abolished, and okruhas were directly subordinated to Ukrainian SSR. In 1930, okruhas were abolished. In 1935, Bereznehuvate Raion was transferred into Odessa Oblast. On 22 September 1937, Mykolaiv Oblast was established on lands which previously belonged to Dnipropetrovsk and Odessa Oblasts, and Bereznehuvate Raion became part of newly created Mykolaiv Oblast.
In March and April 1944, Bereznegovatoye–Snigirevka Offensive, a part of major Dnieper–Carpathian Offensive of the Soviet army during the last phase of World War II, took place around Bereznehuvate.
