History
Altestove was founded at the end of the 18th century by immigrants from the western regions of Ukraine.
The plot on which the village is located came into the possession of Andrea Altesti, an official of the Collegium of Foreign Affairs, secretary of the favorite of Catherine II, Platon Zubov. The place for Altesti's plot was chosen by engineer-lieutenant-colonel François de Wollant. In 1802, the city of Odesa bought the village from the landowner Altesti.
The historical and current names of the village come from the names of de Wollant and Altesti: Volanivka, Volyanivka, Devolanivka, Volanovo, Ulyanivka, Altestove, Altesta. On the territory of the village there is a village club, a post office, a grocery store and a private shop — a bar, the village is provided with a central drinking water supply from an artesian well.
