Konstantinovka was founded on the banks of the Yeruslan River in 1859 by colonists resettling from the colonies of Schilling, Jost, Merkel, Dönhof, Kutter, and Moor.
Konstantinovia is located directly across the Yeruslan River from the Russian town of Logniovka.
Today, what remains of the former Volga German settlement of Konstantinovka is still known by the name of Konstantinovka.
The original colonists of Konstantinovka were Lutherans. A new church building was constructed in Konstantinovka in 1906.
