The settlement is located on the right bank of the Southern Bug, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the river.
In 1961, a construction of a big cement plant started. The settlement serving the plant was known as the Hrigorievka Cement Plant and belonged to Varvarivka Raion of Mykolaiv Oblast. In 1963, Varvarivka Raion was abolished and Mykolaiv Raion was established. In 1968, Hrigorievka Cement Plant was renamed Olshanske, to commemorate Konstantin Olshansky, a Hero of the Soviet Union, and it was granted urban-type settlement status.
The settlement serves a cement plant which belonged to Dyckerhoff AG.
