History

Until 18 July 2020, Lykhivka belonged to Piatykhatky Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to seven. The area of Piatykhatky Raion was merged into Kamianske Raion.[2] [3]

Until 26 January 2024, Lykhivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Lykhivka became a rural settlement.[4]
