History

The villages of Maly Matis and Bolshoy Matis appeared, apparently, in the 1930s, as in the List of settlements of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in the Soviet Union of 17 December 1926.

In the Statistical Handbook of Taurida province in 1915 Tabulinskiy parish Simferopol Raion featured a Russo-German farm, with a population of 36 people, including 8 Germans.

By the decree of the Presidium of USSR in RSFSR of 18 May 1948, Malyi Matis and Velykyi Matis Nyzhnohirskyi Raion were renamed in Drofyne. On 30 September 1966 the village became centre of the village Council.[3]
