Kakhovka is a town of regional subordination and the center of Kakhovka district. It is located on the left Dnipro bank at the distance of 90 km from the regional center and 10 km from the cognominal railway station at the route Kherson - Novovesele (Zaporizhya region).
Kakhovka was founded in 1791 at the place of the former Turkish fortress Tslam-Kermen by colonel L. M. Kulykovskyi and was named in honor of the famous Russian soldiers, brothers Mykola and Vasyl Kakhovs’kiy. Kulykovsky's family owned Kakhovka to 1879. By that time they turned it into a trading town, thanking considerably to an advantageous geographical location at the trade routes junction near a well-known at one time Tavans’kyi ferry across the Dnipro.

Due to its famed fairs of wage labour, where up to 40 thousand workers a year gathered, Kakhovka played an important role of a supplier of employables for the large domains of Faltz-Fein, Trubetskoy, Mordvynov and other landowners. It were their estates that conditioned Kherson region's status of the main granary of Europe.
