HISTORY

  • First Street reached just before the river Kharkov, behind which is the strengthening of the attacks on the Kharkov fortress
  • Prior to the beginning of the XIX century the street was built wooden houses, seriously for its expansion took power in 1837, when there appeared the first time the road of cobblestones and stone pavements in Kharkov
  • In 1882 there was opened a factory of agricultural machines and implements

The street appeared as a road to the city of Moscow, so it had the name Moscow Street. Over time, the street began to be called Staromoskovskaya, later - Korsikovskaya, 1st May Street, Stalin Avenue and Chuguevsky Highway. At first, the street reached only the Kharkov river, beyond which there was a fortification from attacks on the Kharkov fortress.

This part was built up in the XVII-XVIII centuries, later the street was lengthened due to the Zakharkov settlements, it went beyond the city limits and led to the farms. At this time, it, located in the low part of the city, in rainy weather became difficult for the movement of vehicles and residents. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the street was built up with wooden houses, and the authorities took seriously its expansion in 1837, when a road of cobblestones and stone sidewalks appeared here for the first time in Kharkov. In 1882, the Plant of Agricultural Machines and Tools was opened here. At the beginning of the twentieth century, several significant stone structures were erected on Moskovsky Prospekt - the Kharkov People's House, barracks, and the Kharkov Electromechanical Plant. In Soviet times, many large factories were located on it, which gave its name the “alley of giants”. The Soviet government tried to turn Moskovsky Prospekt into the central industrial street of the city, so significant funds were allocated for its arrangement.
