During its medieval period it was nominally ruled by Kievan Rus' and Lithuania. By the 15th cent. this territory had come under Crimean Tatar rule. After the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774 it was annexed by Russia and colonized as part of the New Russia gubernia [Novorossiĭskai︠a︡ gubernii︠a︡. No publs. in LC data base] (1774-1783, 1797-1803) and the Katerynoslav vicegerency (1783-1796).
