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