Pushkin Street appeared in the early XIX century. Foreigners settled here, who laid the foundation of a German craft colony, thanks to which the street received its first name. In 1890, the building of the Kharkiv Commercial School was erected here, thanks to which the northern district of the street was significantly revitalized, at the same time it was paved with pavers. In 1899, the street received its present name. In 1971, a tram line was laid on the Pushkinskaya site.
