Solone is located on both banks of the
Solonenka River, a right tributary of the
Mokra Sura River, itself a right tributary of the
Dnieper. In 1803 the Sts. Peter and Paul Church was built in Solonenke as the
village was then called. In 1889 Tsar
Alexander III promulgated the
Land Captain (Zemstvo chief) Statute of 1889, abolishing the old position of
justice of the peace. As a result,
Yekaterinoslav Governorate was divided into 7 precincts. The 3rd precinct included the following areas: Surske, Lotsman-Kamyansk,
Voloske,
Solone, Mykilske, and Yamburg. In 1937, the Soviet government had built a grandiose
theater in Solone, which was destroyed during the retreat of the
German army in 1943. In August 1941, the
NKVD created a Solone
partisan detachment (commander Volobuev) which existed until November 1941. Until 18 July 2020, Solone was the administrative center of
Solone Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to seven. The area of Solone Raion was merged into Dnipro Raion. Until 26 January 2024, Solone was designated
urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Solone became a rural settlement. ==Economy==
