Velykyi Bereznyi, Rural settlement in Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine.
Velykyi Bereznyi is a rural settlement in western Ukraine's Zakarpattia Oblast, situated at an elevation of around 207 meters. The community occupies an area of approximately 4 square kilometers within the Uzhhorod administrative district.
The settlement first appears in written records in 1409, when a local headman named Boncha held a legal proceeding there. From that point onward it developed into an established community in the region.
Residents here come from Ruthenian Greek Catholic, Roman Catholic, and Jewish backgrounds. This religious diversity has shaped community life in the settlement for generations.
The settlement connects to surrounding areas through local road networks and maintains basic administrative services. Visitors can find local facilities and access to the broader transportation links serving the wider region.
In January 2024, this settlement underwent an official administrative change from urban-type settlement to rural settlement status. This reclassification was part of broader national reforms aimed at reorganizing local administrative structures across Ukraine.
