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