History
On June 12, 2020, in accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 723-r "On the Determination of Administrative Centers and Approval of Territories of Territorial Communities of Sumy Region", it became part of the Khotin settlement hromada.[3]
On July 19, 2020, as a result of the administrative-territorial reform and liquidation of the Sumy Raion (1923—2020), the village became part of the newly formed Sumy Raion.[4]
On August 26, 2024, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, Russian forces shelled the border territories of Sumy Oblast. A single explosion was recorded in the village, which is believed to be a KAB.[5]
On September 19, 2024, the Verkhovna Rada supported the renaming of the village of Pershe Travnya to Novokostiantynivka. The renaming came into effect on September 26, 2024.[6]
On August 24, 2026, Russian forces claimed to have seized the settlement.[7][8], which Ukrainian sources deny.[9]
