Previously, the settlement was known as the Kutlak village (Crimean Tatar: Qutlaq). Following the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.
Vesele is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 126 metres (413 ft). Its population was 1,596 in the 2001 Ukrainian census. Its current population is 1,675 (2014 Census).
