Established as Velykyi Buialyk in 1802 by Bulgarian refugees from the Ottoman Empire, the village was renamed in 1923 as Blahoіeve (Russian Blagoievo) after the Bulgarian thinker Dimitar Blagoev.
Until 18 July 2020, Velykyi Buialyk belonged to Ivanivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odesa Oblast to seven. The area of Ivanivka Raion was merged into Berezivka Raion.[2][3]
