During World War II, in summer 1942, local Jews were murdered in mass executions perpetrated by an einsatzgruppen of gendarmes and Ukrainian police;[2] 70 to 80 people were massacred.

Until 26 January 2024, Holovne was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Holovne became a rural settlement.[3]
