The first traces of a settlement date back to prehistoric times, with archeological findings from the
Cucuteni-Trypillian culture. In the
Middle Ages Ivanhorod lay on the
Chumak trade road from
Kyiv to
Crimea. From the 13th century on, it was part of the
Grand Duchy of Lithuania and subsequently, until 1791, the
Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The village (from 1609 owned by the
Kalinowski family) lay on the path of the
Khmelnytsky Uprising. After the
Second Partition of Poland Iwanogród became part of the
Russian Empire. The Jewish community in Ivanhorod dates back to early 19th century. In 1897, the Jewish population was 442 people. During the
Holocaust (on what is now Ukrainian territory), a mass murder was committed by the German
Einsatzgruppe in the southern part of Ivanhorod (1942) with an unknown number of victims. It is known by the
Ivanhorod Einsatzgruppen photograph. Until 18 July 2020, Ivanhorod belonged to
Khrystynivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Cherkasy Oblast to four. The area of Khrystynivka Raion was merged into Uman Raion. == Population ==
