In 1535, the first Cossack host (within the modern-day city limits of Marhanets) founded was the Tomakivka Sich, located on the Tomakivka Island near the mouth of the Tomakivka River. In 1552, a permanent settlement was established in the region under the name "Ukhod Tomakivka."
The modern town Tomakivka has direct roots in the former Cossack host on Tomakivka Island. After the autonomy of the Cossack Hetmanate was abolished in 1764, many of such cossack villages were more densely populated. In 1777, Tomakivka was granted sloboda status.
