Romanivka is the site of an ancient mega-settlement belonging to the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture dating to 3600-3200 BC. The settlement was for the time very large, covering an area of 100 hectares. This proto-city is just one of 2,440 Cucuteni-Trypillia settlements discovered so far in Romania, Moldova and Ukraine. 194 (8%) of these settlements had an area of more than 10 hectares between 5000-2700 B.C. and more than 29 settlements had an area in the range of 100 to 450 hectares.[2]
Until 18 July 2020, Romanivka belonged to Bereznehuvate Raion. The raion was abolished that day as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Mykolaiv Oblast to four. The area of Bereznehuvate Raion was merged into Bashtanka Raion.[3][4]
