Highway H31 of national significance and T 0404 of territorial significance run through the village. A railway line runs 3 km from the village, on which there is a station of the same name - Balivka .
The village was founded in the 1780s. At that time, there were two villages on the site of modern Balivka:
In the 1920s, the villages were united under the common name Popovo-Balivka (until 1985). The origin of the name Popivka is most likely connected with the name of the secretary of the chancellery of Prince Grigory Potemkin, Major General V. S. Popov, to whom the surrounding lands were given as a rank dacha. The name of another village, Balivka, according to one version comes from the surname of the landowner Bala, according to another, more acceptable, from the stream that runs through the village.
During the times of the Cossacks, the adjacent lands were part of the Protovchan palanka of the Zaporizhzhya Nizovy Army. Since those times, the remains of the earthen redoubt (Maidan), which was part of the system of fortifications of the Oryol retrenchment, have been preserved on the territory of the village.
Popovo-Balivka was part of the Novomoskovsk district of the Yekaterinoslav Governorate. In 1895, the first church-parish school was opened, and in 1911, a one-class Zemstvo school.
In the 1920s and 1930s, during collectivization in the USSR, the first collective farms were created in Popovo-Balivka, which in 1950 were merged into the "Peremoga state farm".
In March 1943, several policemen of the mounted school of gendarmes from Dnipropetrovsk were sent to the village to patrol the area. [1] In 1972, a cultural center was built, and in 1978, a new three-story building of a general secondary school was built.
In 1985, the village received the modern name of Balivka. In 2020, in the course of decentralization, the Balivske village council was merged with the Slobozhanske settlement council, [2] which on 12 June 2020 became part of the Slobozhanske settlement hromada.
At the beginning of February 2023, after 18 years of working in Balivka as the village head and starosta Ryzhak Valeriy Petrovych resigned from his position at his own request. [3]
According to the results of public discussions, the former director of the Balivka Lyceum of the Slobozhanke settlement council Legeza Ihor Serhiyovych became the new starosta of Balivka. [4] [5]
