History

In 1676 a fortress named Tor was built at the confluence of the Kazenyy Torets and Sukhyy Torets rivers where they form the Torets river, a tributary of Donets river. Shortly thereafter the town of Tor grew up next to the fortress.

As several salt lakes were located close by, the town became a producer of salt, and since the 16th century this was the main industry; however, later, when the salt production became unprofitable, it ceased, on December 21,1782.

In 1784 the city was renamed to Sloviansk.

Currently the city is an important health resort.
