History edit
Andriiashivka was first mentioned in 1666. Around this time, it was one of the primary centres of the potato farming industry in Ukraine. The village is known for the Andriiashivka oak, a 400-year-old oak tree, which is located near the church.[2]
Andriiashivka came under the control of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in January 1918. An Association for Joint Cultivation of Land was established in 1923, followed by an artel named for Rosa Luxemburg the next year. 147 inhabitants of the village died during World War II.[citation needed]
