History
Until 18 July 2020, Prykolotne belonged to Velykyi Burluk Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Velykyi Burluk Raion was merged into Kupiansk Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Prykolotne was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Prykolotne became a rural settlement.[5]
