Founded in 18 century and named after its landowners Constantin Cantemir and his son Dimitrie Cantemir of the Moldavian former ruling Cantemirești family who, to free their land from Ottoman empire, sided with Russia's Peter I's army, and, when the Russian side lost, moved to Russia and were included in Russian nobility. Dimitrie was a philosopher and writer, as well as a musician, and his son Antioch a prominent Russian author. In the 19th century the village was the center of Konstantinovskaya volost, Bogucharsky Uyezd, Voronezh Governorate.[5]
In 1942, during World War II, there was heavy fighting for Kantemirovka's railway station. Kantemirovka was under German occupation from 10 July 1942 until 19 December 1942,[8] with Red Army tank units of the Southwestern Front finally freeing it from German troops on December 19. In honour of this victory, the derivative adjective name Kantemirovskaya was awarded to the 4th Guards Tank Division, and 10 years later a street in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) was renamed after the victory; in Moscow a street was named after the division, and a metro station - after the street; in Leningrad its street gave name to a large bridge built in 1979-82 at its western end, and in 21st century Saint Petersburg a plan to build its metro Ring Line provides for a station on the street near the bridge named Kantemirovskaya as well.
