Its administrative center was the urban-type settlement of Ivankiv.

The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven.

Henceforth Ivankiv Raion administered the former territory of the depopulated region that is majorly part of the zone of alienation and supervised by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

At the time of disestablishment, the raion consisted of one hromada,[4] Ivankiv settlement hromada with the administration in Ivankiv.
