History
In the 1940s, widespread political disagreement between the members of the Sobovitei city council led to the incorporation of Padurica in 1949 as a seperate district of the city of Sobovitei. At the time, the 5.6 square mile district was considered a crowded peasant enclave which received very little support from the city government of Sobovitei.

During the 1950s and the 1960s, the city government of Padurica worked to balance it's budget and establish new schools and hospitals in the city to raise the standard of living. Slum clearance led to the development of new flats and costly city infrastructure.

Name
In the Charnezhyian SSR, the city was known by it's Ukrainian name Padyrnichev (Падірник), and lesser known by it's Russian name Padovgorod (Падовгород).
