In 1749, the Fortress of Saint Dimitry of Rostov and a small Russian settlement was established in the area. It became the administrative center of Rostov-on-Don as the city grew in size. In 1857, the first industrial enterprise of Rostov appeared in the region. Around the same time, an early attempt was made to build a water pipe from the Bogatogo Well. The district was formally created in 1936.
