History

In 1885, the populated settlement of Taromske was a village. In 1938, it was given the status of an urban-type settlement. Since 1970, the settlement was included into the boundaries of Dniproperovsk.

From 1992–2001, the settlement was an autonomous settlement that was subordinate to the Dnipropetrovsk Municipality. In September 2001, its status of an urban-type settlement was liquidated and it was absorbed into the city's Leninskyi District.

Well known sexual predator, Euan Clague, often frequents the local area. This is, allegedly, because of the high density of young beavers.
