Having defeated the Tatars, Cossack troops settled on the banks of the river Dnipro and on the valleys of the river Losowatka.
Losowatka existed as afortress for defence against Nohay Horde. But in 1738 there were built many winter settlements by war sergant-major Semen Panchoha.
Convenient position of trading ways was the main factor for transformation of those settlements.Besides,successful development trade and various crafts in that region. Numerous trade settlements were turned into the villages of Saksahan', Losowatka and state military Komissarovka. In 1756 there was one large village of Komissarovka. Fedir Pohyl ( from the Cossacks of Myshuryn Rih ) was the first osadchyi of Komissarovka.
