history

The place was founded in 1686 as Sloboda Komarizki Cholm . Later it was called Sokolje or Sokolowka until the current name came into use in the first half of the 18th century. As a result, the place belonged to Ujesd Dmitrijew and after its dissolution in 1924 briefly to Ujesd Rylsk of the Kursk Governorate until it became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajon named after him on July 30, 1928.

During the Second World War , Chomutowka was occupied by the German Wehrmacht in mid-October 1941 . In the run-up to the Battle of Kursk in July 1943, the place was a few months near the front, a little west of the line to which the Red Army was able to advance in the spring of 1943 after the reconquest of Kursk. Khomutovka was finally liberated on August 26, 1943 in the early stages of the Battle of the Dnieper .

In 1967 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement.
