History

The settlement was created in Kharkov Governorate of the Russian Empire to serve the eponymous railway station.

During World War II it was occupied by Axis troops since July 1942 until February 1943.

In 1956 a city club was built here.[4]

In January 1989 the population was 13 196 people.[5]

Until 18 July 2020, Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi belonged to Kupiansk Municipality. The municipality was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Kupiansk Municipality was merged into Kupiansk Raion.[6][7]
