History

In the 19th century Tsarychanka was the administrative center of Tsarychanka volost, Kobelyaksky Uyezd, Poltava Governorate.^[3]

Until 18 July 2020, Tsarychanka was the administrative center of Tsarychanka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to seven. The area of Tsarychanka Raion was merged into Dnipro Raion.^[4][5]

Until 26 January 2024, Tsarychanka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Tsarychanka became a rural settlement.^[6]
