History

Until 18 July 2020, Mashivka was the administrative center of Mashivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Poltava Oblast to four. The area of Mashivka Raion was merged into Poltava Raion.^[3][4]

Until 26 January 2024, Mashivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Mashivka became a rural settlement.^[5]
