History
editThe area was settled by Doukhobors in 1805 under the Russian Empire. Kyrylo Kapustin became the first inhabitant and the village was named after him.[4]
In 1838, the population of Kyrylivka increased to 130 people. After some time, local Doukhobors were sent to the Caucasus, except those who would return to Russian Orthodox Church.
In 1926, sanatorium "Kyrylivka" was founded after the mud bath clinic opened. From there on, Kyrylivka began to develop as a resort destination.[5]
In 1968, the village received an urban-type settlement status.
In 2001, its population was 1,481 according to the census.
The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine that resulted from the escalating Russo-Ukrainian War led to Kyrylivka being occupied by Russian forces during the opening days of the invasion, shortly after the Battle of Melitopol.[6]
