History During the Ukrainian War of Independence, from 1917 to 1920, it passed between various factions. Afterwards it was administratively part of the Kharkiv Governorate of Ukraine.
Until 18 July 2020, Slatyne belonged to Derhachi Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Derhachi Raion was merged into Kharkiv Raion.
Until 26 January 2024, Slatyne was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Slatyne became a rural settlement.Retrieved 2024-04-26
