History

During the Cold War, the 22nd Guards Tank Division was based in Cherkaske.[2] The settlement originated in 1949 as the military town of Nove, where a training battalion was originally stationed, and was renamed in 1957 after the Cherkassy honorific title of the 22nd Guards Tank Division.[3]

Until 26 January 2024, Cherkaske was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Cherkaske became a rural settlement.[4]
