History

Tokarivka was founded as Kolosivka, since originally it was the estate of Princess Kolosova. In 1920, it was renamed Kudriavtsivka to commemorate certain bolshevik Kudriavtsev who was responsible for the local land redistribution after the 1917 October Revolution.[2] In 1976, Kudriavtsivka was granted urban-type settlement status.[3]

On 19 May 2016, Verkhovna Rada adopted decision to rename Kudriavtsivka to Tokarivka and conform to the law prohibiting names of Communist origin.[4]
