Vesele was founded in 1815. The earliest settlers were mostly
fugitive serfs escaping from oppression elsewhere in the
Russian Empire. In 1923, after Vesele was incorporated into the
Ukrainian SSR of the
Soviet Union, it was designated the administrative center of
Vesele Raion. During
World War II, Vesele was occupied by the forces of
Nazi Germany from 18 September 1941 to 26 October 1943. In 1957, Vesele received
urban-type settlement status. ==Demographics==
