At the beginning of the 18th century Armenians and Greeks who had come from the nearby city of Or Qapı (present-day Perekop) founded Armiansk. The first name of the town was Ermeni Bazar (Crimean Tatar for the "Armenian market"). In 1860 it had a population of 5,450.[2] In 1921 it was renamed Armiansk.
During World War II, the German occupiers operated a subcamp of the Dulag 123 prisoner-of-war camp in the town.[3]
On 2 March 2014, early in the 2014 Crimean Crisis, Russian Naval Infantry units without cockades or rank insignia set up a checkpoint in Armiansk to check cars driving in and out of the Crimea region.[4]
