The town was originally a seaport for sending wheat, wool and furs to France, Germany and other European countries. The initial territory consisted of the Crimean Tatarfishing village Ali-Agok (Crimean Tatar for "quiet harbor") and the lands owned by Skadovsky. He and his wife are buried in Skadovsk.
During World War II, the town was occupied by Germany. The Germans operated a Nazi prison in the town.[4]
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian armed forces entered Skadovksk on March 9, 2022.[5] Within minutes after Russian equipment had entered the city, residents of the city came out to a rally with Ukrainian flags and called on the occupying forces to get out.[6] On 12 March, the city's mayor declared that the Russian invaders had left the city.[7] On 13 March, Russian troops again entered the city and deployed at a children camp on the outskirts of the city.[8]
On 16 March 2022, Skadovsk's mayor, Oleksandr Yakovlev, was detained by the Russian military.[9] According to the Ukrainian news outlet Ukrayinska Pravda, on the same day of Yakovlev's detention, a peaceful rally demanding his release was held.[9] It was claimed that Russian troops used tear gas and opened fire to disperse the rally.[9]Ukrayinska Pravda had no information about victims.[9] On 15 April, 2022, Russian forces removed the flag of Ukraine from the Skadovsk town hall and replaced it with a Russian flag.[10][11]
