History

Until 18 July 2020, Chabany belonged to Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion. The raion was abolished that day as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven. The area of Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion was split between Bucha, Fastiv, and Obukhiv Raions, with Chabany being transferred to Fastiv Raion.^[3][4]

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