Kalmius was the name of a 16th-century Cossack encampment where the city of Mariupol was later founded.[1]

The Kalmius Trail was a Tatar raiding trail, one of the branches of the Muravsky Trail.

After an offensive by the separatist forces of the Donetsk People's Republic in August 2014 during the War in Donbass, in southern Donetsk Oblast, the river became the boundary between Donetsk People's Republic-controlled territory to the east, and Ukrainian government-controlled territory to the west.[2] A Donetsk People's Republic unit was named "Kalmius" Battalion.
