History

edit

Kompaniivka was founded in the second half of 18th century on the left bank of the Suhokleya-Komyshuvata river, a tributary of the Inhul. The settlers were former Cossacks Kompaniiskyi regiments. They had been Hetman light cavalry, whose were guarding the southern and western borders and providing an intelligence service. Probably this happened after the reform of October 24, 1775.

Before the soldiers arrived, there were farmers growing wheat, rye, barley and oats and raising livestock. The lands and the peasants farming them were taken over by the nobility in 1782.[4]

Military reform caused a significant settlement of former Kompaniian. After retirement they were assigned to a particular social status, such as Burghers, peasants or Cossacks.

In the 1850s Kompaniivka became the center of parish of the same name in Elisavetgrad County. In the 1890s the Kompaniivka Paper factory was built in the town; its production was the largest in the region and fourth in Ukraine.

In July 1933, the village became the center of the newly created district of Odesa Oblast.[5] In 1965, Kompaniivka received the status of an urban-type settlement (town).

Until 18 July 2020, Kompaniivka was the administrative center of Kompaniivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kirovohrad Oblast to four. The area of Kompaniivka Raion was merged into Kropyvnytskyi Raion.[6][7]

Until 26 January 2024, Kompaniivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kompaniivka became a rural settlement.[8]
