The place emerged from the Cossack settlement Sadneprjanska Kamenka , which was founded at the beginning of the 17th century. The village of Kamenskoye was first mentioned in 1750. The town's rapid development began in 1887 with the establishment of a metallurgical factory.

In the civil war of 1918–1920, Kamenskoje was the scene of acts of war between various forces ( German , Red Army , White Army ). After the civil war, the industry was quickly rebuilt. Today's Technical University was founded in 1920 . On February 1, 1936 the city was in honor of Felix Dzerzhinsky in Dniprodzerzhynsk renamed, in 1935, the existing today was tram opened.

From 1941 to 1943 Dniprodzerzhynsk was occupied by the Wehrmacht and largely destroyed. During this time the city was renamed Kamenskoye again and was the capital of the Kamenskoye City district within the Reichskommissariat Ukraine . Later the POW camp 315 for German prisoners of war of the Second World War existed in the city . Seriously ill people were cared for in the POW Hospital 5807 .

After the war, the city was quickly rebuilt and again developed into an important industrial center. On August 11, 1979, two Aeroflot aircraft collided near the Kuryliwka settlement , killing all 178 people on board, including almost all players from the Pachtakor Tashkent football club .

After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the associated economic crises, the city has been developing rapidly again since 2000 thanks to the booming metalworking and chemical industry.

On July 2, 1996, there was a serious tram accident in the city with 34 fatalities when an overcrowded tram derailed at high speed on a steep hill. The cause was a failure of the brakes.

In 2015, FK Stal , a soccer team in the city, achieved promotion to the highest Ukrainian league, the Premjer-Liha , by reaching second place in the Perscha Liha .

In the course of the decommunization initiated after the revolution of dignity in Ukraine , the city was given back its old name Kamjanske (or Kamenskoye) on May 19, 2016 by resolution of the Verkhovna Rada .
