History

According to some sources, on the most of the territory of a modern town known as Mala Vyska Nykodymiv Khutir was located (those times Ukrainian kozaks' slobodas were there).

Despite the fact that a lot of tribes, including Scythian, went through the territory of Mala Vyska, no one lived there permanently. Officially, the history of Mala Vyska dated back to the year 1752, when first Moldovan emigrants arrived and founded a village at the bench of the river Vysi. Nowadays that settlement is one of the town's districts called Bessarabia.

In the early 19th century some of the lands were given as a gift to prince Kudashev by Katherine II. That very prince named the town after himself, Kudesheve. The modern name Mala Vyska was given by Kniaz Ulashyn, who happened to buy Kudashev's land in the middle of the 19th century.

Until 18 July 2020, Mala Vyska was the administrative center of Mala Vyska Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kirovohrad Oblast to four. The area of Mala Vyska Raion was merged into Novoukrainka Raion.[2][3]
