History

Until 18 July 2020, Kopaihorod belonged to Bar Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Vinnytsia Oblast to six. The area of Bar Raion was merged into Zhmerynka Raion.^[3][4]

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