An architectural monument in the raion is a palace (1887-1914-selo Zelyenoe).

In May 2014, due to the deteriorating situation in the Donetsk Oblast, the Raion requested a referendum pertaining to the absorption of Dobropillia Raion into the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, where the situation was calm and stable. Dnipropetrovsk Governor Ihor Kolomoisky announced that the oblast would be willing to do so assuming that is what the citizens want.[2]
