The village officially belonged to the Crimean Khanate for only 9 years: from the khanate gaining independence in 1774 to joining Russia in 1783. During this period, according to the Cameral Description of the Crimea of ​​1784, the village of Uchkyuyu was registered in the Mangup Kadılık of the Bakhchisaray Kaymakanism ^[7]

After the annexation of Crimea to Russia on February 8, 1784, the village was assigned to the Simferopol district of the Tauride region ^[8] . After the Pavlovsky reforms, from 1792 to 1802, it was part of the Akmechet district of Novorossiysk province ^[9] . According to the new administrative division, after the creation of the Tauride province on October 8 (20), 1802 ^[10] , Uchkuy was included in the Chorgun volost of Simferopol district.
