Before World War II, it was a suburb of the city with narrow streets and low-rise houses. It was only at the end of the 19th century that it was bought by the city and included in the city limits. Kiev Street runs from Tudor Vladimirescu Street (former Kalinina Street) to Aleku Russo Square (former Gheorghe Dimitrov Square). It is located in the Riscani sector and is only 0.5 km long.
In 1944, in connection with the creation of the Chisinau aviation detachment, the first airfield was created here. Its runway was located on the site of the present-day Kievskaya Street and Moskovsky Avenue.

In the 60s the construction of a new airport was started, and the territory of the old one began to be built up. The building of the airport has been preserved (Dimitrova Street, 5). It is repaired, somewhat remodeled, and painted in yellow color. In the last Soviet years it was the accounting office of the October District Komsomol Committee. It even stands not parallel to Kievskaya Street, but at an angle, apparently repeating the geometry of the airfield. And the runway was located exactly along a part of the modern Kievskaya Street.

The street was originally named in honor of G. M. Dimitrov, a figure of the Bulgarian and international communist movement.

The street is a continuation of Moskovsky Avenue. It began to be built up in the 1960s with 4 and 5-storey residential buildings. When organizing the adjacent areas, the principles of free planning with the creation of large green spaces were used.

Residential buildings are mostly facing the street, decorated with loggias (“storeys”) and stores and cafes built into the 1st floor.

At the southern end of the street its perspective is closed by a public garden.

In its northern part the street as if merges into the space of Aleku Russo – Georgi Dimitrov Square (until 1981 Reunification Square, then G. Dimitrov Square). It is located at the intersection of Maskouski Avenue and Kievska, Bogdan Voevod and Aleku Russo Streets. By architectural and planning organization it belongs to the type of open squares.

The construction of the square began in the fall of 1959. At first only 5-storey buildings were erected here. After the completion of the construction of a group of 11-storey residential buildings “Yuzhenergo-Remont” and 9-storey frame-panel residential building, the composition of the square was mainly determined.

In the early 1990s, the street was named Kievskaya.
