History

edit

Hrebinky was founded in 1612 as a village, and it retained its village status until it was upgraded to that of an urban-type settlement in 1958.[2]

Until 18 July 2020, Hrebinky belonged to Vasylkiv Raion. The raion was abolished that day as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven. The area of Vasylkiv Raion was split between Bila Tserkva, Fastiv, and Obukhiv Raions, with Hrebinky being transferred to Bila Tserkva Raion.[4][5] On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished the status of urban-type settlement, and Hrebinky became a rural settlement.[6]

Transportation

edit

The M05 highway, connecting the nation's capital Kyiv and the southern city of Odesa, passes through the town.
