Antin Holovaty – the founder of the city

The populated place (village at that time) was founded by the Ukrainian Cossacks after the elimination of the Zaporizhian Sich. The village called Holovkivka was first mentioned in 1792. The settlers from the Poltava region were moved here in 1794. The first name of the settlement originated from the name of famous Ukrainian Cossack leader, cossack general judge Antin Holovaty. There are several versions of the name origin, but all the versions are connected with his name.

The village started to be a volost administrative center in Odesa county in 1886. It had a population of 2917 people with 250 farmyards. There were two Orthodox churches, schools, six shops, and markets.[3] The river crossing over the Turunchuk River was here.

The settlement gained town status on 2 January 1957, and city status in 1975.[4] Until 2016, Biliaivka was part of Biliaivka Raion, center of Biliaivka Municipality, and the administrative center of the raion.

The area of Biliaivka Municipality was merged into Odesa Raion.[6][7]
