The district was formed by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR on April 12, from part of the territories of the Moskovskyi, Ordzhonikidzevskyi, and Kominternivskyi districts of the city and was named after the military leader, commander of the Southern Front of the Red Army, whose headquarters was located in Kharkiv, Mikhail Frunze.
