History
Until 18 July 2020, Oleksandrivka was the administrative center of Oleksandrivka 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 Oleksandrivka Raion was merged into Kropyvnytskyi Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Oleksandrivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Oleksandrivka became a rural settlement.[5]
