==History== Until 18 July 2020, Orzhytsia served as the administrative center of Orzhytsia Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of Ukraine's administrative reform, which reduced the number of raions in Poltava Oblast to four. The area of Orzhytsia Raion was merged into Lubny Raion.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
