History edit
Until 18 July 2020, Bozhedarivka belonged to Krynychky 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 Krynychky Raion was merged into Kamianske Raion.[4][5]
Until 26 January 2024, Bozhedarivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Bozhedarivka became a rural settlement.[6]
