History
It was a village in Konstantinigrad uyezd of Poltava Governorate of the Russian Empire.
A local newspaper was published there since 1933.[5] In 1968 Zachepylivka became an urban-type settlement.[citation needed]
In January 1989 the population was 5,130 people.[6] By January 2013 it had decreased to 3,753 people.[7]
Until 18 July 2020, Zachepylivka was the administrative center of Zachepylivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Zachepylivka Raion was merged into Krasnohrad Raion.[8][9]
Until 26 January 2024, Zachepylivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Zachepylivka became a rural settlement.[10]
