History
Until 18 July 2020, Yurivka was the administrative center of Yurivka 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 Yurivka Raion was merged into Pavlohrad Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Yurivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Yurivka became a rural settlement.[5]
In September 2024, Yurivka was renamed to Yuriivka as a part of the derussification campaign.[6] The hromada was renamed accordingly on 26 November 2025.[7]
