In the past, a suburban settlement, located to the west of the Nagorny district of Kharkov on the right bank of the Lopan River; later, around 1810, it merged with the city. Thanks to the writer Grigory Kvitka-Osnovyanenko and his play "Matchmaking on Goncharovka" (1835), Goncharovskaya Sloboda became famous. In the last quarter of the 17th century, suburban settlements arose around the Kharkov fortress, where mainly artisans settled. These are such settlements as Zalopanska (historical district of the city of Zalopanska, on the right bank of the Lopan River), Ivanovka (the area of ​​Lysaya Gora) and Panasovka. At the end of the 18th century Zalopanska was already part of the city, its western border was protected by the city fortress wall. On the city map of 1787, to the west, outside the city wall, between Yekaterinoslavskaya Street (modern Poltavsky Shlyakh Street) and the Lopan River, the suburban settlement of Afanasyevka is indicated, near which brick factories were located. To the west of the settlement there was an earthen rampart, which approached Lopan in the north. To the north of Afanasyevka, on the other side of Yekaterinoslavskaya Street, there was a suburban settlement of Dovgalovka. On the map of 1804, the names of the settlements have already been changed: Afanasyevka is located in the north, and Dovgalovka in the south. The same placement remains on later maps, which indicates a mistake by the cartographers of 1787. Craftsmen engaged in ceramics (pottery) settled in Dovgalovka, and after some time the settlement was named Goncharovskaya. In the 18th century, public festivities were held annually on the Goncharovsky meadow, which separated the city from the settlement (nowadays the place where Marshal Konev Street runs). The life and everyday life of the residents of this area are vividly described in the famous work of Grigory Fedorovich Kvitka-Osnovyanenko "Matchmaking for Goncharivtsi". By the beginning of the 19th century, Goncharovka had grown significantly. As evidenced by the city plan of 1817, the settlement merged with Rozhdestvenskaya (modern Kontorskaya) Street at the beginning of the 19th century. At that time, on the site of the former Goncharovsky meadow, which separated the settlement from the city, Sredne-Goncharovskaya Street was formed, renamed Goncharovsky Boulevard in the second half of the 19th century. At the end of the 19th century, a large typolithography house (later Printing House No. 2) was opened here. In 1973, Goncharovsky Boulevard was renamed Konev Street. In 1937, for the 20th anniversary of the October Revolution, the Goncharovskaya Dam was built on the Lopan River opposite Goncharovsky Boulevard to back up the water on the Kharkov Lopan and Kharkov Rivers. From 1996 to 2005, this dam supported shipping in the Lopan Spit area.
