History
20th century
Kurdiumivka was founded in 1936, growing up around a railway station. During World War II, Kurdiumivka was occupied by Nazi Germany between October 1941 and September 1943. In 1957, it received urban-type settlement status. Its population slowly shrank throughout the second half of the 20th century.[2]
21st century
The war in Donbas that started in mid-April 2014, brought both civilian and military casualties. A civilian was killed by rebel shelling in Kurdiumivka on 6 February 2017.[3] During the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022, Kurdiumivka has been a site of fighting during the Battle of Bakhmut.[4]
