History

The settlement was founded by Serbian settlers in 1753.[3] From 1753 to 1764, Slovianoserbsk was the capital of Russian territory Slavo-Serbia as Podgornoie (Russian: Подгорное, romanized: Podgornoye; or Pidhirne, Ukrainian: Підгірне; 1754–84). In 1764 Slavo-Serbia was transformed into the Donets county and in 1784 the town was renamed into Donetskoie (Russian: Донецкое, romanized: Donetskoye; or Donetske, Ukrainian: Донецьке). In 1796, it lost its status of a county seat.[3] In 1817 it became again a county seat, and both the town and county were renamed to Slavianoserbsk.[3] In 1870, the town had a population of 3,156.[3] It hosted three annual fairs in the late 19th century.[3] Soon after the Ukrainian independence of 1918, Ukrainian form of Slovianoserbsk was adopted as well.

A local newspaper is published in the city since March 1939.[4]

During World War II, in 1942–1943, the German occupiers operated a Nazi prison in the town.[5]

Since 2014, Slovianoserbsk has been controlled by the separatist troops (so-called LNR) and their Russian supporters.[6]
