The district was founded in 1962 by separating it from Zhovtnevyi District

(since 2016

). Following the passage of
decommunization laws
, in 2016, numerous streets within the district were renamed to replace their Soviet-era names. Some of the new street names include Sikorskyi St., Mykola Kytsenko St., Leonid Prynia St., Maksym Kryvonos St., Bohdan Zavada St., Malv St., and Vasyl Didenko St..
