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

Until 26 January 2024, Novopokrovka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Novopokrovka 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}}
