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]

gollark: It's kind of dodecahedral to go around complaining about people not understanding you (and implying it's some failure on their part) and then refusing to try explaining it in better ways.
gollark: > oh the obvious reality is that people dont know what they dont know, and even i didnt conclude that, tho i see it now. doesnt keep me from being impatient and getting madMaybe you should try explaining better if you think you have some great insight people do not understand.
gollark: My family has a pet one, but it actually just mostly sits in a rock thing in its terrarium.
gollark: Geckos are really quite cool reptiles.
gollark: Yep!
