In the Statistical Handbook of Taurida province in 1915 Tabulinskiy parish Simferopol Raion featured a Russo-German farm, with a population of 36 people, including 8 Germans.
By the decree of the Presidium of USSR in RSFSR of 18 May 1948, Malyi Matis and Velykyi Matis Nyzhnohirskyi Raion were renamed in Drofyne. On 30 September 1966 the village became centre of the village Council.[3]
