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.
