History

Until 18 July 2020, Vlasivka belonged to Svitlovodsk Municipality. The municipality was abolished as an administrative unit in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kirovohrad Oblast to four. The area of Svitlovodsk Municipality was merged into Oleksandriia Raion.[2] [3]

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