History
editUntil 18 July 2020, Bilyky belonged to Kobeliaky Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Poltava Oblast to four. The area of Kobeliaky Raion was merged into Poltava Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Bilyky was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Bilyky became a rural settlement.[5]
