History
Until 18 July 2020, Balakhivka belonged to Petrove Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kirovohrad Oblast to four. The area of Petrove Raion was merged into Oleksandriia Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Balakhivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Balakhivka became a rural settlement.[5]
On 19 September 2024, the Verkhovna Rada voted to rename Balakhivka to Inhuletske.[6]
