The club was founded in 1947 as Traktor Dniprodzerzhynsk under the patronage of a secretive Soviet Factory of Slag Fertilizers, a part of the Soviet Defense Industry Complex.
In 1952 Traktor entered the republican stage and after being promoted to upper league changed its name to Khimik.
From 1957 to 1970 the club competed in the Soviet Class B championship (analogous with a third level of league system).
Being sponsored by the factory only (by then renamed as Trans-Dnieper Chemical Plant), the club continued to play in the city championship and only rarely participated in the regional competitions.
In 2007, the Trans-Dnieper Chemical Plant was officially announced bankrupt.
