== History ==
===Early history===
Until 1941, there was a [[Germans|German]] settlement at the site of the modern city named ''Mannheim''. The legal name of the settlement in [[Imperial Russian]] and later [[Soviet]] records was ''Davydo-Orlivka'' ({{langx|uk|Давидо-Орлівка}}), but it was also colloquially known as "Khrestivka" (roughly meaning "Cross-town") due to a [[cross]]-shaped road sign near the village. During [[World War II]], in which [[Nazi Germany]] invaded the Soviet Union, the German population was deported to [[Siberia]].<ref name=esu/>
The modern settlement was officially founded at the same site in 1954 as '''Nova Khrestivka''' ({{langx|uk|Нова Хрестівка}}), in connection with the coal mines that were dug at the same time. In 1958, it was given city status and renamed to ''Kirovske''.<ref name=esu>{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Кіровське |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine |publisher=[[NASU Institute of Encyclopaedic Research]] |url=https://esu.com.ua/article-7044 |last=Ткаченко |first=В. І. |date=2013-02-01 |volume=13 |language=Ukrainian |isbn=978-966-02-2074-4}}</ref>
In 1987, Kirovske was designated as a [[city of regional significance (Ukraine)|city of regional significance]] - a city that did not belong to any raion and was directly subordinate to [[Donetsk Oblast]].<ref name=esu/>
===21st century===
▲On 14 April 2014 [[2014 pro-Russian conflict in Ukraine|pro-Russian activists]] captured Kirovske's town hall and declared that the city was part of the [[2014 insurgency in Donbass|separatist]] [[Donetsk People's Republic]] (DPR).<ref>{{in lang|ru}} [http://kp.ua/politics/448322-chastui-donetskoi-narodnoi-respublyky-staly-zhdanovka-y-kyrovskoe As part of the People's Republic of Donetsk steel Zhdanovka and Kirov

In Ukraine, the administrative divisions were changed on 18 July 2020, and the reform reduced the number of raions of Donetsk Oblast to eight. The city of Khrestivka was merged into newly established [[Horlivka Raion]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.

On 30 September 2022, during the full-scale [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]], Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] signed a decree [[Russian annexation of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts|claiming to annex four regions]], including Donetsk Oblast, as part of [[Russia]].
