History edit
Andriivka was shown on a topographic map for the first time in 1931. Under the Soviet Union, the village was subordinated to the Terehiv village council.
In 1986, its total population was 224. Following the evacuation, these people were resettled in Yakhna, Fastov district.[1] In 1999, the village was officially removed from the district survey.[2]
Until 18 July 2020, Andriivka belonged to Ivankiv Raion. The raion was abolished that day as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven. The area of Ivankiv Raion was merged into Vyshhorod Raion.[3][4]
From February to April 2022, Andriivka was occupied by Russian forces as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
