From 1753 to 1764, Slovianoserbsk was the capital of Russian territory Slavo-Serbia as Podgornoye (1754–84).

Soon after the Ukrainian independence of 1918, Ukrainian form of Slovianoserbsk was adopted as well.
A local newspaper is published in the city since March 1939.[3]
Since 2014, Slovianoserbsk has been controlled by the separatist troops (so-called LNR) and their Russian supporters.[4]
