Selidovo- a city of regional subordination, located 44 km northwest of the regional center, in the upper reaches of the Solyonaya River, crossing the city from east to west. The nearest railway station Selidovka of the Donetsk Railway is 5 km away. The Donetsk - Dnepropetrovsk - Kyiv highway passes through the city.
Located: Ukraine, Donetsk region.

Official version of the origin of the city's name Selidovo dates back to the 16th century, when a settlement of Zaporozhye Cossacks arose on its territory. According to legend, the founder of the steppe settlement was a Cossack named Selid. At that time, the Milky Way ran through the territory of the modern city. With property on three carts, Selid allegedly moved from the Azov region home to Zaporozhye. But while wading across the Salt River, the axle of one of the salt carts broke and the cart plunged into the water. The salt, quickly dissolving, made the river water taste salty. Years passed, the taste of the water in the river became natural long ago, but the name Solenoye remained forever. Since it was impossible to quickly find wood in the steppe, and it was already late autumn, the Cossack decided to winter in this place. Selid really liked these places, rich in game and fish. Therefore, he changed his previous decision to return home in the spring and stayed here to live. And then other Cossacks began to settle nearby.

Intensive settlement of the territory began in the second half of the 18th century. In 1770 - 1773 Moldovans, immigrants from across the Dniester, temporarily settled along the banks of the Solena River. Somewhat later, in the early 80s, the Bakhmut provincial office decided to form the state settlement of Selidovka near the Solyonaya River, near the Palievsky ravine. The Moldovans were resettled from here for permanent residence in Korsun, Zemlyanki and other villages of the Bakhmut district. In their place arrived former Cossacks of the Mirgorod regiment of the Poltava province. In subsequent years, fleeing feudal-serf oppression, Ukrainian peasants, townspeople, Cossacks and other people from the Chernigov governorship and Sloboda Ukraine moved here.

At the end of the 18th - first half of the 19th centuries. New settlements appeared in the vicinity of Selidovka - Alekseevka, Galitsinovka, Kurakhovka, Solntsevo, Roya. All of them were the property of large landowners, who, taking the best lands into their hands, surrounded Selidovka with a dense ring. Settlements of German colonists also appeared near the village:

  • Karlovka,
  • Mymrik,
  • Lesovka,
  • Alexandrovka,
  • Dolinovka,
  • Kotlyarevka,
  • Mikhailovka,
  • Marinovka.

The peasant farms of Selidovka were increasingly drawn into the sphere of commodity-money relations. Three fairs and weekly markets were held here annually.

Since 1865, Selidovka became a volost center. It was divided into four rural societies:

  • Lozovatskoe,
  • Kamenno-Lisichanskoe,
  • Kuchuripskoe,
  • Selidovskoe.

The natural border between them was the Solenaya River and the ravines that cut the village into four parts.

The vast majority of the local population was illiterate. The government did not care about the development of education. In 1862, at the Selidov school, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of State Property, one teacher taught 38 boys and 3 girls.

In accordance with those published in 1866 - 1867. By tsarist decrees on the land structure of state peasants, all lands were reserved for the residents of Selidovka. Peasants had the right to immediately redeem their plots or pay an annual quitrent tax to the treasury. After 1885, the purchase of land for state peasants became mandatory, but many of them could not buy it, as they went bankrupt as a result of unbearable exactions. Their lands fell into the hands of the wealthy elite.

When cultivating the land and harvesting crops in the kulak farms of Selidovka, already in the 60s - 80s of the 19th century, improved agricultural tools began to be used: iron plows, seeders, winnowers, and rollers for threshing grain.

Back in the 50s of the 19th century, coal deposits were discovered near Selidovka and surrounding villages. Soon small landowner and peasant mines arose here. However, due to the lack of a railway and the demand for mineral fuel, the development of coal deposits turned out to be unprofitable, and soon most of the mines closed. Only after the construction of the Ekaterininskaya railway in 1884 and due to an increase in demand for fuel, coal mining near Selidovka began to be carried out more intensively.

At the beginning of the 20th century, coal mines were already operating near the village:

  • Frese,
  • Hecker,
  • Zlatopolsky,
  • Belinsky,
  • Prahiya,
  • Fritz,
  • Podolsky,
  • Grodov peasant mines.

Mostly ruined peasants from nearby villages and Selidovka worked here.

During the years of the first Russian bourgeois-democratic revolution, the prison in Selidovka was overcrowded with “rebels.” The unrest among the villagers even threatened to disrupt the next army recruitment.

The Selidovsky City Council is administratively subordinate to the Donetsk Regional Council, and in turn the Selidovsky City Council is subordinated to:

  • city ​​of Selidovo;
  • Gornyak City Council (city of Gornyak);
  • Ukrainian City Council (city of Ukrainsk);
  • Kurakhovsky village council (urban settlement Kurakhovka and Ostry village);
  • Tsukurino village council (Tsukurino town);
  • village of Vishnevoe;
  • Kamyshevka village.

Previously, the city of Novogrodovka was administratively subordinate to the Selidovsky City Council, which today is a city of regional subordination.

From the first days of its establishment until the Great October Revolution of 1917, the Selidovka settlement was part of the Bakhmut district of the Yekaterinoslav province.

In March 1923, the city of Selidovo became the center of the Selidovo district of the Donetsk region.

In the 50s of the 20th century, a new stage in the development of the village of Selidovka began. In 1952, construction of giant mines began in Selidovka and nearby settlements:

  • “Selidovskaya” No. 1, 2 - subsequently the Korotchenko mine (closed),
  • "Selidovskaya-Yuzhnaya" (closed),
  • "Kotlyarevsky" No. 1, 2 - later the "Russia" mine,
  • "Lesovskaya" No. 1, 2 - later the "Ukraine" mine.

From 1962 to 1965, these mines were put into operation. Coal enterprises developed rapidly, and already in the fall of 1955, the Selidovugol trust was created in Selidovka, uniting all the coal mining enterprises of the Selidovsky district, which were separated from the Krasnoarmeyskugol association.

Thanks to industrial growth, on November 16, 1956, Selidovo became a city of regional significance, and in 1962 - a city of regional subordination.

The local population took an active part in the battles of the Great Patriotic War, of which more than 4,500 Selidov residents did not return home.

At the end of the 1980s, 18 industrial enterprises operated in the city of Selidovo, of which seven were mines and four processing plants. The coal industry accounts for approximately 75% of the region's total industrial production. There is also a bakery, construction and transport enterprises operating in the city. The main enterprises of the city are:

  • SE "Selidovugol"
  • ZAO TSOP "Selidovskaya";
  • CJSC "Plant of Reinforced Concrete Products";
  • CJSC "Selidovsky Machine-Building Plant";
  • CJSC "Selidovsky plant of metal-plastic windows",
  • OJSC "Selidovsky Bread Factory"

After the cessation of coal mining at the Korotchenko mine, it was switched to drainage mode, but already at the end of 2009, water pumping at the mine was stopped and to this day its flooding continues, threatening the flooding of most of the city of Selidovo.
