It was founded in 1794 by Cossacks of the Black Sea Cossack Army as Korenovskoye (Корено́вское), called so to commemorate a kurin of the same name in the Zaporozhian Host. Since the end of the 19th century, it had been known as the stanitsa of Korenovskaya (Корено́вская). During the Second World War, the local Jewish community was murdered by an Einsatzgruppe on ancient trenches of the aerodrome. Town status was granted to it in 1961.
