Petropavlivska Borshchahivka (Ukrainian: Петропавлівська Борщагівка) is a village in Bucha Raion of Kyiv Oblast (province) of Ukraine. It belongs to Borshchahivka rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1]
History
Founded in 1113.
According to the Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland in 1497 the village was passed by the Grand Duke of Lithuania Alexander Jagiellon to Kyiv monasteries.
The name of the village originates from the river ″Borshchahivka″ (today also known as Nyvky) over which the village is located, and the Petropavlivskiy Dominican monastery, which in turn got its name from two apostles: Peter and Paul).
In total around the city of Kyiv, there were five villages named as Borshchahivka, three of which today are merged into the city limits of Kyiv.
Until 18 July 2020, Petropavlivska Borshchahivka belonged to Kyiv-Sviatoshyn 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 Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion was split between Bucha, Fastiv, and Obukhiv raions, with Petropavlivska Borshchahivka being transferred to Bucha Raion.[2][3]
