Brylivka, Urban settlement in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine.
Brylivka is an urban-type settlement in Kherson Oblast located on flat steppe land with railway infrastructure as its backbone. Water towers and transport networks form the main visible structures across the landscape.
The settlement was founded in 1943 during World War II as part of Soviet plans to build centers in agricultural regions. It subsequently developed into a significant point for railway and grain transport operations.
The community developed around railway operations and grain logistics, patterns that still influence how daily life unfolds. The station continues to anchor social and practical connections for people living here.
Highway M17 connects the settlement to larger cities, making arrival straightforward. Essential services and infrastructure for water supply and transportation are available locally.
A 2024 administrative reform reclassified the settlement from urban-type status to a rural designation. This shift reflects evolving approaches to how Ukraine manages and structures its local communities.
