"Pokrovs'ke is known since 1760, when it was found by the
Cossack foreman Holovko. In XVI-XVII centuries near Vovcha river,
on which coast Pokrovs'ke is located, ran Muravs'kyi way, by
which Crimean Tatars attacked Ukrainian lands. According to the
legend, in the end of XVII century Ivan Sirko has met on
Muravs'kyi way large Tatar group and in the battle released
inhabitants, which were captured by Tatars. It has taken place
per day of the Virgin Cover holiday. In her honour and on a mark
of memory about this victory village was named Pokrovs'ke.
