History
The village was founded as Deynehivka (Ukrainian. Дейнегівка) in honor of the nobleman Deyneg.
In the 1930s it was called Novooleksandrivka. During the Holodomor of 1932-1933, at least 43 villagers died.[2]

During the German occupation, local resident Stachenko Lukiya Efymivna (1879-1973) baked bread for the partisans of the Black Forest.
In the 1960s, locals began to move en masse to Petrove. As of 2021, only 2 people lived here - Musiy Buldovych and Mykhailo Hryhorovych Mayboroda.
In the village was born Viktor Kalyuzhny (1967-2024) a hero of the Russo-Ukrainian war, went missing in the Donetsk oblast while holding back the advance, as a result of a Russian UAV attack on a position.[3]
