History
Town was founded in the 18th century.
A railway from Odesa to Kropyvnytskyi and a railway station were built here in 1868.
Many armies passed through town in the period from 1917 to 1920, when Ukraine gained its independence from Imperial Russia for a short period of time. They represented different powers: Bolsheviks, Central Council of Ukraine, Makhno movement and the White movement. With the end of the war, the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic was established. The USSR launched a planned economy, rapid industrialization and collectivization of its agriculture.
The Stalin's Ukrainian famine (1932—1933), or Holodomor was one of the largest national catastrophes in the modern history of Liubashivka. Until World War II the town had a Jewish community. In 1940 Jewish population was 2500.
During World War II, Liubashivka was occupied by Romanian and German forces from August 4, 1941 to March 30, 1944. The Nazis murdered approximately 400 people in Liubashivka, mostly from its Jewish community. By 1990, the Jewish population was only 5 persons.
In 1957, Liubashivka received urban-type settlement status.{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Любашівка |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine |publisher=NASU Institute of Encyclopaedic Research |url=https://esu.com.ua/article-59776 |last=Аведенко |first=І.

In 1991, after the collapse of the USSR, the city became part of newly independent Ukraine.
Until 18 July 2020, Liubashivka was the administrative center of Liubashivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odesa Oblast to seven. The area of Liubashivka Raion was merged into Podilsk Raion.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.

On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Liubashivka 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}}
