History

Kurdiumivka was founded in 1936, growing up around a railway station. During World War II, Kurdiumivka was occupied by Nazi Germany between October 1941 and September 1943. In 1957, it received rural settlement status. Its population slowly shrank throughout the second half of the 20th century.[2]
21st century
The war in Donbas that started in mid-April 2014, brought both civilian and military casualties.
