Until 18 July, 2020, Kalanchak was the administrative center of Kalanchak Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Kalanchak Raion was merged into Skadovsk Raion.[4][5]
History
 | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2022) |
The settlement was founded in 1794 as a home for exiled participants in the Turbai uprising.[6] Kalanchak became the site of the first attack on Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, when Russian soldiers attacked an outpost in the town.[7]
Transportation
Kalanchak railway station is located in Myrne approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) east of the settlement. It is on the railway which used to connect Kherson with Dzhankoi; however, after the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, the trains only run as far as Vadim, close to the border with Crimea. There is infrequent passenger traffic.
The settlement has access to Highway M17, which runs north to Kherson and south to the border with Crimea.
