History

It was founded in 1912. It was originally called Olenivski Kariery. It has been a town since 1954. It was founded in connection with the development of flux limestone and dolomite mining for Petrovsky and Yenakiieve Steel.

In 1939 the town was home to 9.2 thousand people, in 1959 - 16.8 thousand people, in 2011 - 23.726 thousand people.

Starting in mid-April 2014 Russian-backed separatists captured Dokuchaievsk and several other towns in Donetsk Oblast. Since then the city has been under the control by the Donetsk People's Republic. On January 13, 2015, militants of the DPR's "Oplot" brigade from Dokuchayevsk shelled a checkpoint near Volnovakha, killing 11 civilians in a bus and injuring 17 others.
