History
On 25 October 2015, Komysh-Zoria became the center of the newly formed Komysh-Zoria settlement hromada, originally an amalgamated hromada of Ukraine formed through the voluntary mergers of local rural and urban councils.

Until 18 July 2020, Komysh-Zoria belonged to Bilmak Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Zaporizhzhia Oblast to five. The area of Bilmak Raion was merged into Polohy Raion.

On 18 November 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was reported by Ukrainian news outlets that Russian forces had murdered a family in Komysh-Zoria, citing law enforcement officials and Ukrainian security services. One source blamed the murders on militants of the Donetsk People's Republic and soldiers from Ossetia.
