History

The settlement was first founded in 1770 as the village of Velyka Katerynivka ({{langx|uk|Велика Катеринівка|links=no}}). In 1938, it was renamed to Kushuhum and given the status of an urban-type settlement. It is located on the left bank of the Kakhovka Reservoir.

Until 26 January 2024, Kushuhum was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kushuhum became a rural settlement.{{cite news |title=Что изменится в Украине с 1 января |url=https://glavnoe.in.ua/ru/novosti/chto-yzmenytsya-v-ukrayne-s-1-yanvarya |work=glavnoe.in.ua |lang=ru| date=1 January 2024}}
