Ternova has a history that dates back to the 16th century, when it was a remote frontier settlement of the Tsardom of Russia. According to records from 1864, the town was a state settlement with a population of 1,607 people, including 887 males and 892 females. There were 281 farmsteads and both an Eastern Orthodox church and a post office in the area.[3]
By 1914, the population of Ternova had increased to 4,149 people.[4]
On September 12, 2022, the Ukrainian Ground Forces successfully liberated the village of Ternova in the north of Kharkiv Oblast during its 2022 Kharkiv counteroffensive and reached the border with Russia.
