Cherkaske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast

Cherkaske (Ukrainian: Черкаське) is a rural settlement in Samar Raion, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine.

Cherkaske is located in close proximity to another military town, Hvardiiske.

During the Cold War, the 22nd Guards Tank Division was based in Cherkaske.

[3] The settlement originated in 1949 as the military town of Nove, where a training battalion was originally stationed, and was renamed in 1957 after the Cherkassy honorific title of the 22nd Guards Tank Division.

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