Askania-Nova (Ukrainian: Асканія-Нова, romanized: Askaniia-Nova), or New-Askania, is a rural settlement in Kakhovka Raion, Kherson Oblast, southern Ukraine, near the Askania-Nova biosphere reserve.

On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Askania-Nova became a rural settlement.

In 1828, the estate of Chapli was leased by Frederick Ferdinand, Duke of Anhalt-Köthen.

The 25 sheep breeders and German colonizers from that county founded the loosely populated settlement of Ascania-Nova.

In 1856, a Ukrainian-born German entrepreneur Friedrich Fein bought the estate, which totaled approximately 52,000 ha, from the Duke of Anhalt-Dessau (presumably Leopold IV).
