The district was created in 1937 when Petynsko-Zhuravlivskyi District was split into Kahanovychskyi and Stalinskyi districts. In 1961 Stalinskyi District was renamed to Moskovskyi. On 11 May 2022, it was renamed to Saltivskyi because the name "Moskovskyi" was "associated with the aggressor country" following the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1] Saltivka had been one of the worst affected areas in Kharkiv of the Battle of Kharkiv.[2]
