History
Komsomolske was founded in 1956. It received urban-type settlement status in 1993.

In 2016, as part of decommunization in Ukraine, Komsomolske was designated to be renamed to Bakachyk-Kyiat, which is a Ukrainian transliteration of the town's name in the language of the Crimean Tatars who are indigenous to Crimea. However, since Crimea has been occupied by Russia, the law enacting the renaming did not come into effect. It was scheduled to come into effect when Ukrainian control of Crimea was re-established. In 2023, this clause was amended to remove the qualifier, instead making the new name official immediately.

Demographics
As of the 2001 Ukrainian census, Komsomolske had a population of 4,271 people, who mostly self-reported their ethnic background as Russians and Ukrainians.
