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 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.

On 19 May 2016 the official name of Dnipropetrovsk was changed to Dnipro.[3] Hence the official name of the station was changed to Dnipro-Holovnyi.[4]
