The settlement has its roots in the German colony of Ostheim, founded in the mid-1800s at the invitation of the government of the Russian Empire. The Soviet Union renamed the town to Telmanove in 1935 after KPD leader Ernst Thälmann. After World War II, the German population was expelled by the Soviet government and the village was repopulated by Boykos.
