Dnipro is the [[Capital (political)|administrative centre]] of [[Dnipropetrovsk Oblast]]. It hosts the administration of Dnipro urban [[hromada]].<ref name="admreform_2020_dnipro">{{cite web |title=Днепровская городская громада |url=https://gromada.info/ru/obschina/dnipro/ |publisher=Портал об'єднаних громад України |language=Russian}}</ref> Dnipro has a population of {{Ua-pop-est2022|968502|.}}

Archeological evidence suggests the site of the present city was settled by [[Cossacks|Cossack]] communities from at least 1524. '''Yekaterinoslav''' ("glory of Catherine")<ref name="Cybriwsky History of the Dnipro"/> was established by decree of the [[Emperor of all the Russias|Russian Empress]] [[Catherine the Great]] in 1787 as the administrative center of [[Novorossiya Governorate|Novorossiya]]. From the end of the 19th century, the town attracted foreign capital and an international, multi-ethnic workforce exploiting [[Kryvbas]] iron ore and [[Donbas]] coal.

Renamed '''Dnipropetrovsk''' in 1926 after the Ukrainian [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union|Communist Party]] leader [[Grigory Petrovsky]], it became a focus for the [[Stalinism|Stalinist]] commitment to the rapid development of heavy industry. After [[World War II]], this included [[Nuclear power|nuclear]], [[Arms industry|arms]], and [[Soviet space program|space]] industries whose strategic importance led to Dnipropetrovsk's designation as a [[closed city]].

Following the [[Euromaidan]] events of 2014, the city politically shifted away from pro-Russian parties and figures towards those favoring closer ties with the European Union. As a result of [[Decommunization in Ukraine|decommunization]], the city was renamed Dnipro in 2016. Following the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russian invasion of Ukraine]] in February 2022, Dnipro rapidly developed as a logistical hub for humanitarian aid and a reception point for people fleeing the various battle fronts.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=Sullivan |first=Becky |date=29 March 2022 |title=With front lines on 3 sides, Ukraine's Dnipro sharpens its focus on the war |language=en |work=NPR |url=https://www.npr.org/2022/03/29/1089146927/russia-war-ukraine-dnipro?t=1649159481082 |access-date=2022-04-05}}</ref><ref name="meduzaDniproFeb232023">{{cite web |title=Dispatch from Dnipro How 'Ukraine's outpost' and its people are faring after one year of all-out war|url=https://meduza.io/en/feature/2023/02/23/dispatch-from-dnipro|website=[[Meduza]]|date=February 23, 2023|access-date=2023-04-11}}</ref>
