Industrialnyi District (Industrial District)
Industrialnyi District (Індустріальний район) is an urban district of the city of Dnipro, in southern Ukraine. It is located at the northern portion of the city on the left-bank of Dnieper River along with the city's Amur-Nyzhnodniprovskyi District and Samarskyi districts.
In the 18th century the area was inhabited by several villages, including one colony of German settlers called "Josefstad".
Since the 1950s the area has been expanded by industry and housing complexes. In the 1960s this led to the need to make the area a new urban district. The Industrialnyi District was created on 23 May 1969 by splitting away the eastern and northern parts of the Amur-Nyzhnodniprovskyi District that predominantly contain areas of heavy industry.
In 1977 the eastern outskirts of the Industrialnyi District along the Samara River were transferred to the newly formed Samarskyi District. The major factory of the district is the Nyzhnodniprovsk Pipe-rolling Factory that is owned by the Ukrainian Interpipe Group.

During the Middle Ages, Ukraine was the site of early Slavic expansion and the area later became a key centre of East Slavic culture under the state of Kievan Rus', which emerged in the 9th century. The state eventually disintegrated into rival regional powers and was ultimately destroyed by the Mongol invasions of the 13th century. The area was then contested, divided, and ruled by a variety of external powers for the next 600 years, including the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Austrian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Tsardom of Russia. The Cossack Hetmanate emerged in central Ukraine in the 17th century, but was partitioned between Russia and Poland, and ultimately absorbed by the Russian Empire. Ukrainian nationalism developed, and following the Russian Revolution in 1917, the short-lived Ukrainian People's Republic was formed. The Bolsheviks consolidated control over much of the former empire and established the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, which became a constituent republic of the Soviet Union when it was formed in 1922. In the early 1930s, millions of Ukrainians died in the Holodomor, a man-made famine. During World War II, Ukraine was devastated by the German occupation.
