History

In 1874, near the village Novooleksiyivka (now Oleksyivka village), a small railway station, also called Novooleksiyivka, was founded. At the same time, a station settlement of the same name arose around the station, which then became a major settlement. As the cargo turnover of the station was small, the population of Novooleksiyivka was mainly engaged in agriculture. It was a part of the Dniprovsky district of the Tavriya Governorate at that time.

In 1908 the first school was built at Novooleksiyivka at the expense of local peasants, where 2 teachers were employed and 64 pupils were engaged.

In 1930 a sovkhoz fruit-producing farm was built, whose main activity was the production, harvesting, storage, processing and sale of seeds.[2]

Nowadays the population of Novooleksiyivka is about 10 000 inhabitants. There is an orthodox church of Protection of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Adzhy Belial Dzhami mosque.[3]
