The village of Petropavlivka is located at the confluence of the Byk River with Samara between Pavlohrad and Pokrovsk.
It was founded in 1775 as a military settlement of pikemen of the Luhansk regiment. In the Bakhmut fortress, from where they were transferred to a new settlement, the pikemen were parishioners of the Peter and Paul Church, in memory of which the new settlement was named Petropavlivka.
In 1910, a stone Peter and Paul church was built in the style of classicism, which has survived to this day.
