History
It was founded by Ukrainian Cossacks from Bohuslav in 1685 as Alexeyevka (or Alexeyevskaya) sloboda, named after Alexey Cherkassky, its first owner. It was administratively located in the Ostrogozhsk Regiment of Sloboda Ukraine until 1765. The settlement suffered a fire in 1826 and cholera epidemics in 1831, 1847, and 1892. A horse-drawn oil mill was built in 1833, and then a steam-powered oil mill was built in 1886. In 1895, a railway station was opened on the line. In 1897, it had some 13,600 mainly Ukrainian inhabitants.
In 1918, it was part of the Ukrainian State, and then passed to the Soviets. According to the 1926 census, Ukrainians made up 64.5% of the population. During World War II, Alexeyevka was occupied by the German Army from 1942 until 1943. Town status was granted in 1954.
