History

Until 18 July 2020, Novovasylivka belonged to Pryazovske Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Zaporizhzhia Oblast to five. The area of Pryazovske Raion was merged into Melitopol Raion.
Until 26 January 2024, Novovasylivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Novovasylivka became a rural settlement.
