History
The town has its origins in 1905, when an unnamed worker's settlement grew up around a mine named after the Marxist revolutionary V. Volodarsky. In 1923, it officially received the name Volodarsk. In 1938, it received urban-type settlement status.During the war in Donbas, the town has been occupied by pro-Russian militants. In 2016, the Ukrainian government renamed Volodarsk to Vedmezhe as part of decommunization in Ukraine. In June 2020, the town was assigned to Dovzhansk urban hromada.
