The city was founded in 1816 by German colonists from Swabia and the just dissolved Duchy of Warsaw and was named after the Battle of Arcis-sur-Aube.

Until 18 July 2020, Artsyz was the administrative center of Artsyz Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odesa Oblast to seven. The area of Artsyz Raion was merged into Bolhrad Raion.[3][4]

Artsyz was bombed on 3 May 2022 by Russian forces during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5]
