It was created in 1937 as the Stalino-Zavodskyi District.
On 22 February 2026, the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration renamed it to Oleksandrivskyi District (Ukrainian: Олександрівський район) as part of the decommunization and derussification campaign.[1] This name comes from Oleksandrivka, the first settlement on the territory of Donetsk.[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.
