Dnipro-Holovnyi is the main railway station of Dnipro. Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine.

History

The station was opened in 1884, called Ekaterinoslav.

July 20, 1926, the Presidium of the USSR Central Executive Committee of the city and station Ekaterinoslav was renamed to Dnipropetrovsk.

During the Holodomor, British journalist Gareth Jones noted that it was filled with starving peasants desperate for food.

During World War II the building was destroyed and in its place under the project of architect Alexey Dushkin in 1951 and built a new station building.

In 1976 a large monumental statue of Grigoriy Petrovsky, after whom the city was renamed in 1926, was erected on the square in front of the railway station. This statue was destroyed by an angry mob on 29 January 2016.

On 19 May 2016 the official name of Dnipropetrovsk was changed to Dnipro. Hence the official name of the station was changed to Dnipro-Holovnyi.
