Settlement of the area on the territory of the modern village began with the construction in 1884 of the Mezhova station on the
Yuzivka—
Yaterynoslav railway. In the 1890s of the 19th century, the lands located northwest of the station began to be settled by immigrants from the village of
Slovyanka. Thus the hamlet of
Novoslovyanka arose. North of the Mezhova station, immigrants from the village of
Pidhorodne founded the village of Hryhorivka. At the beginning of the 20th century, industrial enterprises arose in the village, mainly processing agricultural raw materials — two
steam mills, an oil press, a foundry, a leather workshop and a factory for repairing agricultural machinery. As of 1913, there were 193 households and 1,191 inhabitants in Hryhorivka, and 412 people lived in 72 courtyards in the Novoslavianka farm. Until 26 January 2024, Mezhova was designated
urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Mezhova became a rural settlement.
