It is located on the south bank of a west-flowing part of the Dnieper River. On the north bank is the town of Nikopol, Ukraine. About 15km east is the power plant at Enerhodar. The river is now part of the Kakhovka Reservoir. The landscape of the area is flat and steppe-like.

History

In 1701 Russia built a fort here called Kammeny Zaton ("Stoney Backwater"). It interacted with the Cossack settlements on the north side of the river.

City since 1957.[2][3]

The city is home to the Kamianka-Dniprovska District Historical and Archeological Museum.[6] An archeological site near Kamianka-Dniprovska gives evidence suggesting that the city was once the capital of the ancient Scythian Kingdom[citation needed].
