20th century
Krasna Hora has its origins in a ceramics factory named "Krasna Hora" that was built in 1906. Initially, only seasonal employees worked in the plant, but by the 1930s, barracks were built for permanent workers to live. These workers were migrants from Kharkiv Oblast to the north. During World War II, the Krasna Hora factory was occupied by Nazi Germany between October 1941 and September 1943. The brick factory was completely destroyed during the occupation. It was eventually restored in 1944. Actual houses began to be built in the area in 1949, and it received official urban-type settlement status in 1964 under the name Krasna Hora. 21st century
On 30 October 2014, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine placed Krasna Hora on a list of settlements within the Anti-Terrorist Operation Zone, a term used to identify Ukrainian territory occupied by Russian forces and their proxies during the war in Donbas. Krasna Hora came under heavy attack by  Russia amid the battles for  Soledar and  Bakhmut during the Eastern Ukraine campaign, part of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Geolocated footage indicated that Ukrainian troops withdrew from the settlement on 11 February 2023, giving Russia full control of Krasna Hora, although this claim couldn't be independently verified by Reuters or other news sites.
