History

The fort of Donkov was founded by the Princes of Ryazan in the late 14th century and took its name from the Don River. The fort stood on the left bank of the Don, about 34 kilometers (21 mi) from the modern town, until 1568, when it was destroyed by the Crimean Tatars. It was then restored on a better fortified location but was again relocated in 1618. By the 18th century, its spelling changed from Donkov to Dankov. The town was chartered by Catherine the Great but was demoted in status to that of a rural locality between 1796 and 1804 and again between 1924 and 1959.
