History
Prymorsk was a settlement in Taurida Governorate of the Russian Empire, originally known as Nohaisk (Ногайськ) after the Turkic Nogai people who lived in the area until the nineteenth century. In 1923, Nohaisk became the center of Nohaisk Raion. In 1938, Nohaisk became an urban-type settlement.

In 1964, Prymorsk received its modern name, along with Nohaisk Raion being renamed to Prymorsk Raion. In 1967, Prymorsk became a city of regional significance; while it still served as the administrative center of the raion, it was no longer subordinate to it, instead being subordinate directly to Zaporizhzhia Oblast within the Ukrainian SSR. In 1974 the population was 11.9 thousand people.

In January 1989 the population was 13 965 people.

Prymorsk Raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Zaporizhzhia Oblast to five. The area of Prymorsk Raion was merged into Berdiansk Raion.
