History[edit]
Until 18 July 2020, Vasylkivka was the administrative center of Vasylkivka 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 Vasylkivka Raion was merged into Synelnykove Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Vasylkivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Vasylkivka became a rural settlement.[5]
