Until 18 July 2020, Kalynivske belonged to Velyka Oleksandrivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Velyka Oleksandrivka Raion was merged into Beryslav Raion.[4][5]
Kalynivske was occupied by the Russian forces during the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. On 9 November 2022, it was reported that Ukrainian forces had re-entered Kalynivske.[6]
Until 26 January 2024, Kalynivske was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kalynivske became a rural settlement.[7]
