The street arose shortly after the settlement of Kharkov, in the last quarter of the 17th century, and was one of the main trade routes leading from the Kharkov fortress to Poltava. At the end of the 18th century, the street was the outskirts of the city and ended with the St. Dmitrievsky Church near the cemetery. Until 1804, the street extended to the Cold Mountain, and was built up with wooden houses. At this time, since the road acquired a wider significance - it was known as the road to Yekaterinoslav, Poltava Shlyakh was named Yekaterinoslavskaya Street. It was along this street that a horse tram route was laid in 1882 (for the first time in Kharkov).
After that, the street became one of the most important in the city, since it housed the house of the governor and other rich bourgeois. Nowadays, many houses have been restored and quite accurately reproduce the atmosphere of the late 19th century. The popular name - Poltava Shlyakh - however, functioned along with the new name. In Soviet times, the street received the name of Yakov Sverdlov, but in 1996 the street was preserved in the memory of Kharkov citizens.
