The village of Colosova was part of the Glückstal Colonies, known during the 19th Century as Bergdorf and inhabited by Germans farmers.

According to the 2004 census, the village's population was 887, of which 204 (22.99%) were Moldovans (Romanians), 415 (46.78%) were Ukrainians and 162 (18.26%) were Russians.[2]
