Administrative status

Until 18 July, 2020, Oleshky was the administrative center of Oleshky 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 Oleshky Raion was merged into Kherson Raion.[4][5]

Geography

The town is located in the south of Ukraine. The Konka River goes through the town before falling into the Dnipro. The Oleshky Sands are located in a close proximity to the town.

History

The city of Oleshia has been known since the 11th century, when it was a part of Kyivan Rus, but the area itself has been known since antiquity.[6] Herodotus mentioned Scythian forests in the mouth of the Dnieper in the 5th century BCE, which were called "Oleshye" (from the Slavic word for forest) by the Slavs.[6] The town, which appeared later, took its name from the area, and the later form of the name (Oleshky) is also related.[6]

In 1711–1728, Oleshky was the capital of the Zaporizhian Host under the protection of the Crimean Khanate.^{[citation needed]} In 1784, the settlement of Oleshky was established; by 1790, it became a part of the Kinburn palanka of the Black-Sea Cossacks.^{[citation needed]} In 1802, the settlement was granted town status and became the seat of an uyezd in Taurida Governorate.^{[citation needed]} In 1928, the town was given the name Tsiurupynsk after former Soviet Trade Minister and the chief of Gosplan Alexander Tsiurupa,[6] who was born in the town.

On 21 November, 2007, the town council adopted resolution No.296 to restore the name Oleshky. The town council deputies and district councils, as well as the local Cossacks, wrote a letter to then president Victor Yushchenko requesting that the petition be carried out.[7]

It was not until 19 May, 2016 that the Verkhovna Rada adopted the resolution to rename Tsiurupynsk as Oleshky and conform to the law prohibiting names of Communist origin after a 9-year campaign by the town's council and residents.[8]

On 24 February, 2022, Oleshky was occupied by Russian forces in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9] On 14 April, 2022, Russian forces removed the flag of Ukraine from the town hall and replaced it with a Russian flag.[10][11]
