It is named after the Russian nobleman and field-marshal Mikhail Vorontsov.
During World War II, the settlement was occupied by Germany. The Germans operated a Nazi prison in the settlement.[3]
Until 18 July, 2020, Novovorontsovka was the administrative center of Novovorontsovka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Novovorontsovka Raion was merged into Beryslav Raion.[4][5]
Novovorontsovka has access to the Highway H23 which connects Kryvyi Rih and Nikopol. Another road follows the right bank of the Dnieper and connects the settlement with Beryslav with access to Kherson.
The closest railway station is about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north in Tik on the railway connecting Apostolove and Zaporizhia.
