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