The current district Sobornyi District was created on 16 March 1936 out of the Kirovskyi and Fabrychno-Chechelivskyi districts.[1] In 1973, a portion of its territory was annexed to the newly created Babushkinskyi District. Before 26 November 2015 the district was named Zhovtnevyi ; on that day the district was renamed to comply with decommunization laws.[5] [6]
