History
The settlement was founded in 1902 as poz'izd Polytsi (роз'їзд Полиці). Its name was changed to Nova Rafalivka (Нова Рафалівка) in 1927. The settlement's name was again changed to its current "Rafalivka" when it acquired the status of an urban-type settlement in 1957.

On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished the status of urban-type settlement, and Rafalivka became a rural settlement.
