The village of Koziatyn was first mentioned in 1734. The city was founded at the time of construction of Kyiv-Balta railway. Koziatyn became a town of the Berdychiv district of Kyiv Governorate on July 7, 1874.

A few years later, the district was included in the Vinnitsa Oblast. During World War II, Koziatyn was under German occupation from 15 July 1941 until 28 December 1943.{{cite web | url=https://www.soldat.ru/spravka/freedom/1-ssr-3.html | title=Освобождение городов }} It was administered as a part of Reichskommissariat Ukraine from 1 September 1941 until 28 December 1943.
