Administrative status
Until July 2020, Vynohradove was in the Oleshky Raion of Kherson Oblast. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as a result of the administrative reform of Ukraine's districts, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five, merging Oleshky Raion into Kherson Raion.[1]
History
The village was founded as Chalbasy in 1794 as one of many destinations for exiled insurgents who had taken part in the Turbai uprising.[2] Before then, Chalbasy had been the site of a former Tatar settlement.[2]
The location in the steppes in which the village was built was "waterless". Additionally, imperial authorities forbade them from digging wells, forcing them to travel to the Dnipro river 50 kilometres (31 mi) away to collect water. The punishment for digging a well occasionally included hard labor.[2] After a few years, residents eventually discovered a natural well in the wilderness. The prohibition on digging wells was only lifted by the beginning of the 19th century.[2] By 1799, Chalbasy had 1,139 inhabitants, of whom 622 were men and 517 were women.[2]
By 1886, 4788 people lived in the village, which also contained an Orthodox church and a school.[3]
