History

Until 18 July 2020, Kapitanivka belonged to Novomyrhorod 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 Novomyrhorod Raion was merged into Novoukrainka Raion.[3][4]

Until 26 January 2024, Kapitanivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kapitanivka became a rural settlement.[5]
