History
Until 18 July 2020, Petropavlivka was the administrative center of Petropavlivka 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 Petropavlivka Raion was merged into Synelnykove Raion.

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