History

Irmino was the first village of Petrovka/Petrivka founded in 1808 on the right bank of the Luhan by peasants from the Poltava region and renamed Irminka in 1898, or Irmino around 1910, after the coal mine named after Irma, daughter of the mine owner.

In 1936, the village achieved city status and took on the name Teplohirsk in 1977. On 8 July 2010 the town was renamed Irmino.

It was in Irmino, at the “Tsentralna-Irmino” mine, where Alexei Stakhanov had been working since 1927, that the legendary miner reportedly managed to extract of coal, i.e. 14 times the norm, on the night of 30-31 August 1935. At the time, the village of Irmino depended on Kadiivka, and Stakhanov's registration would have been made at the Tsentralna-Irmino mine in Kadiivka.
