Andriivka was founded in 1789, and in 1918 the Bolsheviks took over the village and it became part of the Soviet Union.[3] A branch of the Komsomol organization was founded a few years later in 1926.[3] During World War II, 99 residents of the village fought in the war, of which 47 died.[3]

The village hosts a branch of the Chystiakove vegetable and dairy farm, for which several residents received order and medals from the USSR in labour achievements.[3]
