Previously, the settlement was known as the Shelen village (Crimean Tatar: Şelen). Following the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.[4]

Hromivka is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 217 metres (712 ft).[2] Its population was 178 in the 2001 Ukrainian census.[3] Current population: 179 (2014 Census).[5]
