History

The district was created on 16 March 1936 out of the Kirovskyi and Fabrychno-Chechelivskyi districts.[1] In 1973, a portion of its territory was annexed to the newly created Babushkinskyi District. Before 26 November 2015 the district was named Zhovtnevyi (Ukrainian: Жовтневий район); on that day the district was renamed to comply with decommunization laws.[4][5]
