Vilnohirsk is (with Irshansk) the centre of the Ukrainian titanium ore industry.[3]

Until 18 July 2020, Vilnohirsk was designated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to any raion. As part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to seven, the city was merged into newly established Kamianske Raion.[4][5]
