Perspective
The settlement was founded as a village in the Aleksandrovsky Uyezd of the Yekaterinoslav Governorate and first mentioned in historical documents in 1779. At the end of the 19th century, a school, an almshouse, several bazaars and shops operated here, and fairs were held regularly.[3]
At the beginning of the 20th century, manganese deposits were discovered in Pokrovske. In October 1930, a MTS was established here.
During the Great Patriotic War, in October 1941, the village was occupied by advancing German troops, but on September 14, 1943, it was liberated by units of the 257th Rifle Division of the Red Army. In 1957, it was granted the status of "urban-type settlement".
In January 1989 the population was 12,080 inhabitants.[4] On 25 August 2014, a monument to Lenin was toppled in town.[5] Until the raion was abolished on 18 July 2020,[6][7] Pokrovske was the administrative center of Pokrovske Raion. After that date the urban-type settlement became part of Synelnykove Raion.
Until 26 January 2024, Pokrovske was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Pokrovske became a rural settlement.[8]
