It was a village in Kharkov Governorate of the Russian Empire.
Urban-type settlement since 1957.

Until 18 July 2020, Kehychivka was the administrative center of Kehychivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Kechyhivka Raion was merged into Krasnohrad Raion.[4] [5]
Until 26 January 2024, Kehychivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kehychivka became a rural settlement.[6]
Kehychivka has access to the Highway M29 which connects Kharkiv and Dnipro, as well to a road leading to Izium with further access to Sloviansk.
