Early Bronze Age that was used as a burial site from the 4th millennium BC to the 15th-17th century AD located in the village. There is a catacomb burial belonging to people near the
Inhulets river, and in the burial was a polished stone hammer, a staff with a pummel, and miniature flint arrows. During the
Crimean War, General Schastlivtsev of the Russian Army was deployed on the Arabat Spit to protect the
Black Sea coast. The community is considered a resort village Its population is about 1,500 people (it was at 1,463 during the
