History

edit

The location of Taromske has been known since 1190 as Tarentsky Rih.

It was settled by Zaporizhian Cossacks[2] at least since 1564. In 1704 Taromske became a town in Kodak Palanka of Zaporizhian Sich. It was located on the historic road from Kyiv to Khortytsia.[2]

In 1764 Taromske was granted a State military status[3] as denizens were exempt from serfdom but had to serve in the Russian military.

In 1885, the populated settlement of Taromske was a village. In 1938, it was given the status of an urban-type settlement. Since 1970, the settlement was included into the boundaries of city of Dnipropetrovsk (present day Dnipro[4]).[3]

From 1992 to 2001, the settlement was an autonomous settlement that was subordinate to the Dnipropetrovsk Municipality. In September 2001, its status of an urban-type settlement was liquidated[5] and it was absorbed into the city's Leninskyi District.[3] On 26 November 2015 Leninskyi District (named after Vladimir Lenin) was renamed to Novokodatskyi District to comply with decommunization laws.[6]
