History
editThe settlement appeared in 1900 as a khutir Berkovets during the construction of the railroad Kyiv - Kovel (1897–1903). The khutir consisted of a single homestead which served as a residence for local forest rangers in the Bilychi Woods. The settlement belonged to the Kyiv-Podil Administration of State Property. In 1903 near the khutir was constructed a passing loop which later transformed into a train station Bilychi. The station was named after a village that was located in close vicinity (today, part of Kyiv city).
On February 11, 1941, the khutir Berkovets was given the status of an urban-type settlement and renamed Kotsiubynske.
Until 18 July 2020, Kotsiubynske belonged to Irpin Municipality. In July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven, Irpin Municipality was merged into Bucha Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Kotsiubynske was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kotsiubynske became a rural settlement.[5]
