History
[edit]Until 18 July, 2020, Velyka Lepetykha was the administrative center of Velyka Lepetykha Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Velyka Lepetykha Raion was merged into Kakhovka Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Velyka Lepetykha was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Velyka Lepetykha became a rural settlement.[5]
