History
Previously the territory on the left bank of Dnieper across Yekaterinoslav at interfluvial region between Dnieper and Samara was known locally as Zadniprovia (Trans-Dnieper region) and belonged to the Samara province (palanka) of Zaporizhian Sich. After liquidation of Zaporizhian Sich by the Russian government of Catherine the Great in 1775, the region was admitted into the newly formed Novomoskovsk county of Yekaterinoslav Governorate.
In September 1917 all settlements of Zadniprovia were organized into a district of Zadniprovskyi Raion. On 25 January 1918 the district was renamed after two towns of Amur and Nyzhnodniprovsk united into Amur-Nyzhnodniprovsk and later sometime before 1920 was merged with Katerynoslav as one of its five urban districts. In 1969 the district was split in half and at its eastern and northern portions was created the Industrialnyi District.
