History
It was first founded in 1869 as a train station settlement on the Kursk-Kharkiv-Azov Railway, and it received city status in 1938. Since 1896, a cement factory is located within the city, and cement production has been the dominant industry of the city.[3] Also located within the city was a history museum, industrial technical school, 6 schools, 11 libraries, 9 hospitals, a pharmacy, a movie theater, a club, and a sport stadium.[when?]
The city's population peaked at approximately 24,400 in 1979.[4] By 2020, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine estimated the population has decreased to 18,047 (2021 est.).[5]
On 15 July 2014, two Ukrainian soldiers were killed and eight wounded when Amvrosiivka was hit by several "Grad" rockets.[citation needed]
On 18 August 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a large Russian ammunition store in Amvrosiivka was attacked causing many explosions and fires that burned for several hours. After 2:30 am local time, there were "massive explosions [followed by] multiple secondary detonations."[2]
