History

The station was opened in 1884, called Ekaterinoslav.

July 20, 1926, the Presidium of the USSR Central Executive Committee of the city and station Ekaterinoslav was renamed to Dnipropetrovsk.^[2]

During the Holodomor, British journalist Gareth Jones noted that it was filled with starving peasants desperate for food.^[3]

During World War II the building was destroyed and in its place under the project of architect Alexey Dushkin in 1951 and built a new station building.

In 1976 a large monumental statue of Grigoriy Petrovsky, after whom the city was renamed in 1926, was erected on the square in front of the railway station.^[4][5] This statue was destroyed by an angry mob on 29 January 2016.^[4]

On 19 May 2016 the official name of Dnipropetrovsk was changed to Dnipro.^[6] Hence the official name of the station was changed to Dnipro-Holovnyi.^[7]
