History
editUntil 18 July 2020, Salkove belonged to Haivoron 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 Haivoron Raion was merged into Holovanivsk Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Salkove was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Salkove became a rural settlement.[5]
