At first the alternative name Naumowka was also used, after the middle of the 19th century Mitropolje was also used. The village experienced an economic boom with the passing of the railway line Grjasi  - Tsaritsyn at the end of the 1860s, when the Tokarjowka station was opened there, around which a settlement of the same name grew.

In June 1928, the Tokarjowka, combined from the original village and the settlement at the train station, became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him. In 1968 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement.
