History edit
Until 18 July 2020, Mezhova was the administrative center of Mezhova Raion. 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 Mezhova Raion was merged into Synelnykove Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Mezhova was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Mezhova became a rural settlement.[5]
