In 1784 it became the city of Katerynoslaw and the center of the Gubernie Katerynoslaw and in the 19th century the city was the administrative center of the Ujesd Novomoskowsk in the Yekaterinoslav governorate . Later Katerynoslaw was due to unfavorable situation on the banks of the Dnepr relocated (today Dnipro ). The remaining city has been called Novomoskovsk since that time.
