History

Starting in 1968, Krasnoilsk was designated an urban-type settlement.{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Красноїльськ |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine |publisher=NASU Institute of Encyclopaedic Research |url=https://esu.com.ua/article-2919 |last=Хавронюк |first=О. В. |volume=15 |language=Ukrainian |isbn=978-966-02-2074-4}}

Until 18 July 2020, Krasnoilsk belonged to Storozhynets Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Storozhynets Raion was merged into Chernivtsi Raion.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.

On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished the status of urban-type settlement for the locality, and Krasnoilsk became a rural settlement.{{cite news |title=Что изменится в Украине с 1 января |url=https://glavnoe.in.ua/ru/novosti/chto-yzmenytsya-v-ukrayne-s-1-yanvarya |work=glavnoe.in.ua |lang=ru| date=1 January 2024}}
