It was created in 1980 out of the Proletarskyi, Kirovskyi and Leninskyi districts. The district's name was a revival of the original name of Proletarskyi District.
On 22 February 2026, the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration renamed it to Bohodukhivskyi District (Ukrainian: Богодухівський район) as part of the decommunization and derussification campaign.[1] This name comes from Bohodukhivska Gully and Bohodukhova River.[2] However, this name is only de jure used by the Ukrainian government and the renaming has not de facto taken place while Donetsk is under Russian control.
