It is the administrative center of Osypenko rural hromada.[1]
The village was established in 1805 by runaway serfs from Poltava Governorate. Until 1939 it was known as Novospasivka. The village was renamed as Osypenko which is a proper last name for Polina Osipenko, born in the village, who survived an airplane crash of test flight from Moscow to the Russian Far East without landing, after the nearby city of Berdiansk was re-renamed.
