Basic problems that interested scientists in the plane of historical-geographical study of the Northern Black Sea Coast (settlement Scythian tribes, Greek and Italian colonization, the Crimean Khanate, the history of the Cossacks, joining of the land to the Russian Empire) are outlined. It is indicated on the place of the historical geography in the works of the famous historians of Southern Ukraine (Apollon Skalkovsky, Nicholas Murzakevych, Oleksiy Markevych, Ivan Lynnychenko etc.). It highlights the scientific achievements of the leading researchers in this field of historical knowledge (Nicholas Nadyezhdin, Philip Bruun). In particular, it is noted that N. Nadyezhdin (1804-1856) made a significant contribution to the study of geography of the Scythia of the Herodot in the first half of the XIX century. In 1868 F.
