Alang wi the rest o Crimea, Kerkinitis wis pairt o the dominions o [[Mithridates VI o Pontus|Mithridates VI]], Keeng o [[Pontus]], frae whose cognomen, ''Eupator'', the ceety's modren name derives.

Frae roughly the 7t throu the 10t centuries AD Yevpatoriya wis a [[Khazar]] dounset; its name in [[Khazar leid]] wis probably ''Güzliev'' (literally "bonnie hoose").<ref>Brutzkus, Julius (1944). "The Khazar Origin of Ancient Kiev", Slavonic and East European Review, p. 118</ref> It wis later subject tae the [[Cumans]] ([[Kipchaks]]), the [[Mongols]] an the [[Crimean Khanate]]. Durin this period the ceety wis cried ''Kezlev'' bi [[Crimean Tatars]] an ''Gözleve'' bi [[Ottomans]]. The Roushie medieval name ''Kozlov'' is a [[Roushification]] o the Crimean Tatar name.

For a short period atween 1478 an 1485, the ceety wis admeenistrated bi the [[Ottoman Empire]]. Efterwards it became an important urban centre o the [[Crimean Khanate]]. In 1783, wi the whole Crimea, Kezlev wis captured bi the [[Roushie Empire]]. Its name wis offeecially chyngit tae Yevpatoriya in 1784. The ceety wis briefly occupeed in 1854 bi [[Great Breetain|Breetish]], [[Fraunce|French]] an [[Turkey|Turkis]] troops durin the [[Crimean War]], when it wis the steid o the [[Battle o Eupatoria]]. [[Adam Mickiewicz]] visitit the toun in 1825 an wrote ane o his ''Crimean Sonnets'' here; it wis later translatit intae Roushie bi [[Mikhail Lermontov]].
