===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'' ({{lang-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''' ({{lang-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.

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/>
