It is the administrative centre of the Selydove urban hromada. The settlement was founded between 1770 and 1773, when Moldovan and Wallachian settlers on the banks of the Solona were resettled to make way for Greek Cossacks, Zaporozhian settlers and peasants fleeing serfdom, and by 1782 it was officially a state military settlement named Selydivka. The 2001 census counted 26,875 inhabitants, and a 2022 estimate gave about 21,521. According to the article, the city has been under Russian occupation since October 2024.
