History

Founding

Chornobaivka was founded officially on August 18, 1782 by the Zaporozhian Sich Cossack Petro Chornobay, after he received a plot of land from Catherine II. The settlement's name is derived from him.[4]

Development

Chornobaivka grew slowly. From the documents of the Kherson provincial zemstvo it is known that in 1859 the village had 60 yards, in which 239 people lived. The main income of the Chornobaivka inhabitants was the extraction of limestone. There were no trade enterprises on the farms at that time, except for wine shops. Medical care was at a low level. The first school was opened in the late nineteenth century; it was attended by 26 boys and 6 girls.

In 1902, a primary school for a small number of children was opened in Chornobayiv Khutory.[4]

World War II

During World War II, Nazi Germany occupied Chornobaivka starting 9 August 1941.[5] In 1942, the Nazis began forcibly deporting the town's young people back to Germany. Over the occupation, 242 people were deported and made to do forced labor this way. Eventually, on 14 March 1944, the 295th Rifle Division liberated the city.[6]

Late 20th century and Ukrainian independence

Throughout the early 1970s, "radical" development took place in Chornobaivka. Five main streets were paved with asphalt, there were new houses built, a water system was laid out, and a radio network was formed.[7]

In 2006, Kherson Airport, located in Chornobaivka, received international status.[4]
