Previously, the settlement was known as the Suuk-Sala village (Crimean Tatar: Suvuq Sala). Following the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.[3]

Hrushivka is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 244 metres (801 ft).[1] Its population was 2,054 in the 2001 Ukrainian census.[2] Current population: 2,269 (2014 Census).[4]
