History
Synivka was first mentioned in 1669. According to local legend, its name derives from the phrase "Land of the Sons of Veletskyi" ({{langx|uk|Земля синів Велецького|translit=Zemlia syniv Veletskoho|link=no}}), after a noble family which had been given ownership of the village by Hetman of the Zaporizhian Host Ivan Skoropadsky.{{Cite web |title=Історична довідка |trans-title=Historical information |url=https://synivska-gromada.gov.ua/istorichna-dovidka-15-08-15-30-04-2020/ |access-date=4 January 2024 |website=Synivka rural hromada |language=uk}}
Synivka was taken over by the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in January 1918, and a kolkhoz named after Vladimir Lenin was established in the village afterwards. During World War II two partisan groups were established, including a group of Komsomol members led by M. Artiukh, which was responsible for killing 20 German soldiers and officers. A total of 165 residents were killed during the war.{{Cite web |date=18 July 2016 |title=Синівка, Липоводолинський район, Сумська область |trans-title=Synivka, Lypova Dolyna Raion, Sumy Oblast |url=https://ukrssr.com.ua/sumska/lipovodol/sinivka-lipovodolinskiy-rayon-sumska-oblast |access-date=4 January 2024 |website=History of Cities and Villages of the Ukrainian SSR |language=uk}}
Prior to the 2020 administrative division reform in Ukraine, Synivka was part of Lypova Dolyna Raion.
A series of protests occurred in the village in 2020, in opposition to the plowing of fields. The protesters cited livestock grazing as a reason for their opposition to the plowing.{{Cite news |last=Hordus |first=Natalia |date=19 May 2020 |title=Жителі села Синівка на Сумщині протестують проти розорювання пасовищ |trans-title=Residents of Synivka village in Sumshchyna protest against plowing of fields |url=https://suspilne.media/34764-ziteli-sela-sinivka-na-sumsini-protestuut-proti-rozoruvanna-pasovis/ |access-date=4 January 2024 |work=Suspilne}}
