No one remembers her like this anymore: a glimpse of one of the earliest streets in Dnipro.

Pervozvanovskaya Street, one of the oldest in Dnipro, has undergone a significant transformation from its inception to its current state. Its history began in the early years of the city's construction: the 1806 plan of Ekaterinoslav already marked three developed blocks of this street. This was discussed by Elena Prisyagina on the Facebook page "History in Photographs. Ekaterinoslav-Dnipropetrovsk," where she shared old photographs of the street.

Once beyond Pervozvanovskaya Street, as well as the entire city, was Bazarna Street (now Chkalova). On its outskirts stood several windmills, further along was the city cemetery, and beyond that, the steppe began. In the mid-19th century, a settlement called Mlynky emerged near the street, populated by the impoverished.

However, due to frequent fires that ravaged the wooden and clay-built Ekaterinoslav, this area suffered repeatedly. The most significant disaster occurred in 1885 when a fire destroyed an entire block and the Mlynky settlement. Following this, authorities prohibited settlement in this area, and for 25 years it remained vacant.

In 1910, buildings of the Red Cross were erected on the site of Mlynky, and nearby a church began construction, which was never completed due to the onset of World War I. Meanwhile, the first blocks of the street became the center of affluent homeowners. The section of the street adjacent to Troitsky Market belonged to the wealthy Gureyev, whose houses were numbered from 7 to 17.

In 1912, a large building for engineer Khrennikov was constructed at the corner of Pervozvanovskyi and Ekaterininsky Boulevards, becoming one of the notable structures of that era. However, overall, the street's improvement left much to be desired.

In the early 20th century, a city tram line was laid along Pervozvanovskaya. To the left of it were Sennaya Square and the city cemetery, which was later relocated. On its site and at Sennaya Square, the largest stadium in the city was built.

In 1922, the street was named after the writer Vladimir Korolenko. However, on July 26, 2024, the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration restored the street's historical name of Pervozvanovskaya. Although the street has changed significantly over the years, it retains the spirit of the old city.

Earlier, we told about how the amphitheater in Dnipro looked. Unfortunately, now only a concrete circle in the park serves as a reminder of its existence.
