History

Early history

The village was founded in the beginning of the 18th century, by the Lipovans who fled persecution in the Russian Empire. During this time, the Budjak was under control of the Turks. The Turks traditionally accepted refugees in their lands, and patronized the population of these lands. The area was originally called Zhebriyany. After the annexation of Bessarabia and Budjak to the Russian Empire, Zhebriyany became a border village, and after the dissolution of the Zaporizhian Sich, many Cossacks moved to the Danube Delta, creating Danube Sich, and from there they absorbed the village. In 1905 the village's first Lipovan church was founded, becoming a local attraction.
During the Russian Civil War, Southern Bessarabia, together with the rest of the province and with it the village, united with Romania. In 1940, following an ultimatum from the Soviet Union, the territory was occupied by the Red Army and became a part of the Ukrainian SSR.

World War II

During World War II, Soviet troops lost control of the village, and fell back to Odessa. The village was once again occupied by Romania.
In March and August 1944 during the Uman-Botoşani and Jassy-Kishinev Offensives, the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Front landed marines 2 km from the village. The Romanian troops eventually retreated, and the Soviet troops retook control of the village.
After the war, the village, like many other seaside towns in Ukraine, the village changed its name to Prymorske, which translates to "Seaside". As it stands, there are currently several other villages in Ukraine by the name of "Prymorske".
