History
Until 18 July 2020, Savyntsi belonged to Balakliia Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Balakliia Raion was merged into Izium Raion.

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