History

The settlement was founded in 1923 under the name Shtergres (Russian: Штергрэс), where gres refers to the local thermal power station built as a part of GOELRO plan.

In 1938 Shtergres got the official status of an urban-type settlement.

In 1965, the urban-type settlement of Shtergres and the village of Novopavlovka were merged, and the city of Miusynsk was established.

Starting mid-April 2014 Miusynsk was controlled by the Luhansk People's Republic and not by Ukrainian authorities.
