history

Pershotavensk is one of the youngest cities in Dnepropetrovsk Oblast. The history of the town is inextricably linked with the development of mining in the "Western Donets Basin " coal area. Founded as a small mining settlement, the city grew with the use of new coal mines "Western Donbass number 1 and 2". The first stone for the construction of Pershotavensk, which until 1960 was called Shakhtarske / Shakhtyorske, was laid in May 1954. On May 6, 1960 Shakhtarske became an urban-type settlement of Pershotravensk. Since 1989, Pershotavensk has been a city of regional importance (urban district).
