This fort was built in 1754 by the order of empress Elizabeth Petrovna and it had a role of important pivot on the new lands added to Russia by the Belgrad Peace Treaty of 1739. In 1764 the settlement received status of the center of the Elizabeth province, and in 1784 the status of chief town of a district and was named by the name of fort — Elisavetgrad.

This city changed its name many times:
