History

On 21 May 2016, Verkhovna Rada adopted decision to rename Zhovtneve to Myroliubiv according to the law prohibiting names of Communist origin.[1]

Until 26 January 2024, Myroliubiv was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Myroliubiv became a rural settlement.[2]
