History

Until 18 July 2020, Sofiivka was the administrative center of Sofiivka District. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to seven. The area of Sofiivka Raion was merged into Kryvyi Rih Raion.[3][4]

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