The village was established in 1805 by runaway serfs from Poltava Governorate. Until 1939 it was known as Novospasivka. The village was renamed as Osypenko which is a proper last name for Polina Osipenko who survived an airplane crash of test flight from Moscow to the Russian Far East without landing.
