Луганськ - велике індустріальне місто, центр найсхіднішої області України.

Заснований в кінці XVIII століття на березі річки Лугань, на місці одного з козацьких сторожових постів в Дикому полі.

Розвиток в XIX столітті пов'язаний з будівництвом ливарного заводу в селі Кам'яний Брід, що виготовляв гармати для Чорноморського флоту, а потім великого паротягобудівного заводу.

Тут народився видатний письменник і лінгвіст Володимир Даль, автор тлумачного словника. Частково збереглася забудова старої частини міста з будівлями XVIII-XIX століть. День міста Луганська відзначається в другу суботу вересня.

З 2014 року перебуває під окупацією росії.
