History

According to archeological finds, in the Paleolithic period (7—3 thousand Anno Domini) human settlements appear on Monastyrskyi Island; which is located in Sobornyi District.[4] Traces of Cimmerian settlements during the Bronze Age have been found near today's Sobornyi District's Taras Shevchenko Park.[4]

The current district Sobornyi District was created on 16 March 1936 out of the Kirovskyi and Fabrychno-Chechelivskyi districts.[1] In 1973, a portion of its territory was annexed to the newly created Babushkinskyi District. Before 26 November 2015 the district was named Zhovtnevyi (Ukrainian: Жовтневий район); on that day the district was renamed to comply with decommunization laws.[5][6]

On 14 January 2023 a Russian missile destroyed a residential building on Sobornyi District's Naberezhna Peremohy St, 118; killing over 40 people.[7][8]
