Description

Mahdalynivka is located on the Chaplynka River, a left tributary of the Dnieper. Relief around the settlement is plain with unnoticed change in elevations since it is located in Dnieper Lowlands.

Mahdalynivka is first mentioned under its current name in 1783 in connection with delimitation of lands of the former Zaporizhian Sich (Zaporizhia Free Lands).[2] According to "History of cities and villages of the Ukrainian SSR", the start of the settlement was given by 4 families who arrived from Poltava region (at that time Poltava Governorate).[2] Mahdalynivka appeared on territory that during times of Zaporizhian Sich belonged to Provtocha Palanka, a territorial subdivision of Zaporizhian Sich.[2] Researcher of regional studies L.M.Bezuhlyi in his book "Krai Mahdalynivskyi" (Land of Mahdalynivka) and authors of an essay "Mahdalynivshchyna" as the year of establishment of the village consider 1778.[2] Such conclusion was made by them based on information that was provided by notable genealogist Vadym Modzalevskyi (a co-author of Armorial of Little Russia) and a data from "Mezhevaya kniga Azovskoi Gubernii" (Azov Governorate surveying book).[2]
