It was founded in 1886 as a hub railway station of the Catherine Railway. The first working village consisted of five huts, hence the name. On the eve of the First World War, it was a large railway junction of mechanical workshops. In 1938, Pyatykhatky was granted the status of a city.
To the north of this area, in 1648, the famous Battle of Zhovty Vody began.
