History

Muzykivka is first mentioned in written sources in 1815 as "Muzykyni khutory" ({{langx|uk|Музикині хутори}}, literally "Muzyky's khutir"). According to local tradition, "Muzyky" was the surname of a Cossack who founded the settlement.{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Музиківка |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine |publisher=NASU Institute of Encyclopaedic Research |url=https://esu.com.ua/article-70399 |last=Лейбзон |first=С.

In the times of the Soviet Union, Muzykivka was assigned to Bilozerka Raion of Kherson Oblast. During World War II, Muzykivka was occupied by Nazi Germany between 18 August 1941 and 14 March 1944.

In 2008, the settlements {{ill|Vysuntsi|uk|Висунці}} and {{ill|Miroshnykivka, Kherson Oblast|lt=Miroshnykivka|uk|Мірошниківка (Херсонський район)}}, which were previously administratively subordinated to Muzykivka, were split off to become independent settlements. Bilozerka Raion was abolished in July 2020 as a result of the administrative reform of Ukraine's districts, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five, merging Bilozerka Raion's territory, including Muzykivka, into Kherson Raion.{{Cite web |title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів |url=http://www.golos.com.ua/article/333466 |access-date=2023-02-02 |website=Holos Ukrayiny |language=uk}}

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Muzykivka along with much of the rest of Kherson Oblast quickly fell under Russian occupation.{{Cite news |date=20 March 2022 |title=Є поранені, один підірвався на міні - ситуація у тимчасово окупованій Музиківці на Херсонщині |url=https://suspilne.media/219651-e-poraneni-odin-pidirvavsa-na-mini-situacia-u-timcasovo-okupovanij-muzikivci-na-hersonsini/ |access-date=2024-01-12 |work=Suspilne}} It was occupied from this date until 11 November 2022, when Ukrainian forces liberated Muzykivka as part of the 2022 Kherson counteroffensive.{{Cite news |website=Censor.NET |date=2022-11-11 |title=Ukrainian fighters liberate Barvinok, Zelenyi Hai and Muzykivka in Kherson region.
