Ivanivka was founded in the end of the 18th century as Malaya Baranovka (Mala Baranivka), named after the landowner Baranov. The area was settled after 1792, when the lands between the
Southern Bug and the
Dniester were transferred to Russia according to the
Iasi Peace Treaty. The area was included in
Tiraspol Uyezd, which belonged to
Yekaterinoslav Viceroyalty until 1795,
Voznesensk Viceroyalty until 1796,
Novorossiya Governorate until 1803, and
Kherson Governorate until 1920. In 1825, the area was transferred to newly established
Odessa Uyezd. In 1858, the settlement was renamed Yanovka (Yanivka) after another landowner, Jan Lemper. In 1930, okruhas were abolished, and on 27 February 1932, Odesa Oblast was established, and Yanivka Raion was included into Odesa Oblast. In 1946, Yanivka was renamed Ivanivka, and Yanivka Raion was renamed
Ivanivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odesa Oblast to seven. The area of Ivanivka Raion was merged into Berezivka Raion. Until 26 January 2024, Ivanivka was designated
urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Ivanivka became a rural settlement. ==Economy==
