History
Until 18 July 2020, Shyroke was the administrative center of Shyroke 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 Shyroke Raion was merged into Kryvyi Rih Raion.[3][4]
On 3 September 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the settlement came under fire, with several houses destroyed.[5]
Until 26 January 2024, Shyroke was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Shyroke became a rural settlement.[6]
