The town of Prydniprovsk was created around the Prydniprovsk State District Power Station (DRES), today a thermal power station that was built in 1954, while the town of Ihren was created around the Ihren Rail Station, which still exists since 1873. They were both absorbed into the boundaries of the Samarskyi District.
Samarskyi District did not escape the Russian aerial attacks on Dnipro (of the Russian invasion of Ukraine); a Russian strike in the night of 26 to 27 January 2025 damaged three high-rise residential buildings and industrial buildings in the district. On 25 November 2025 four residential buildings and an educational institution were damaged in a Shahed strike.
