in Memory of the 1919 Pogrom of the Jewish inhabitants, located at
Givatayim,
Israel. Velyka Mykhailivka developed as a merger of several localities. Two biggest ones were the
selos of Bohuslavka and Mykhaylivske, also known as Hrosulove. The area was settled after 1792, when the lands between the
Southern Bug and the
Dniester were transferred to Russia according to the
Iasi Peace Treaty. Bohuslavka was founded in the end of the 18th century, and Hrosulove was founded in 1793. The name of Hrosulove comes from the landowner, Grosul-Tolstoy. The area was included in
Tiraspol Uyezd, which belonged to
Yekaterinoslav Viceroyalty until 1795,
Voznesensk Viceroyalty until 1796,
Novorossiya Governorate until 1803, and
Kherson Governorate until 1920. Velyka Mykhailivka is known for the 1919
pogrom of the Jewish inhabitants. On 16 April 1920,
Odessa Governorate split off, and Odessky Uyezd was moved to Odessa Governorate. In 1923,
uyezds in
Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic were abolished, and the governorates were divided into
okruhas. Hrosulove was included into
Odessa Okruha. On 7 March 1923 Hrosulove Raion with the administrative center in Hrosulove was established. In 1930, okruhas were abolished, and on 27 February 1932, Odessa Oblast was established, and Hrosulove Raion was included into Odessa Oblast. In 1946, Hrosulove was renamed Velyka Mykhailivka, and Hrosulove Raion was renamed Velyka Mykhailivka Raion. Until 26 January 2024, Velyka Mykhailivka was designated
urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Velyka Mykhailivka became a rural settlement. ==Economy==
