History

Until 18 July 2020, Hlevakha belonged to Vasylkiv 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 Vasylkiv Raion was split between Bila Tserkva, Fastiv, and Obukhiv Raions, with Hlevakha being transferred to Fastiv Raion.^[3][4]

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