Voznesenivskyi District (Ukrainian: Вознесенівський район) is an administrative-territorial unit within the city of Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine named after the historical village of Voznesenky.

Cossack Ivan Neskreba and comrades founded the Neskrebivka fishing settlement nearby this original village, which was also called Podgorodny.

The village at that time had a bakery and other traces of town like settlement atop a hill overlooking the Dnieper.

At that time, at the mouth of the river Mokraya Moskovka there was a grain pier, from where bread was sent to many parts of the Russian Empire and abroad.

In addition, 292 acres of forest were transferred by officials to the disposal of the villagers on the left bank of the Dnieper at Khortytsia.

Voznesenka and the city of Aleksandrovsk were connected by a bridge roughly 90 meters long over the Dry Moskovka River and the Cabbage Ravine.

To prevent the destruction of the bridge during the spring flood, there were "watchmen" on the river who cut the ice and cleared debris.

Today, near the Embankment, a natural monument Tarasov pear grows, a witness to Shevchenko's stay.

One of the highest points in the district was chosen for construction - Voznesenskaya Gora near a modern house at Central Boulevard No.

In 1950, two-story houses were erected along Pobedy Street using modern means of construction to expedite opening.

Improvements in transportation paired with growing demand for housing led to the development of adjacent urban districts in the city.

One of the points of the program was the unveiling of a commemorative stone block in one of the busiest places of the city - opposite the Ukraine Department Store.

There are 5 parks and 11 squares in the Voznesenivskyi District which provides ample green space to residents of this urban residential and commercial area.
