Until 18 July 2020, Mena was the administrative center of Mena Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernihiv Oblast to five. The area of Mena Raion was split between Chernihiv and Koriukivka Raions, with Mena being transferred to Chernihiv Raion.[3][4]
