Velykyi Bereznyi

Velykyi Bereznyi (Ukrainian: Великий Березний; Slovak: Veľké Berezné; Hungarian: Nagyberezna) is a rural settlement in Uzhhorod Raion, Zakarpattia Oblast, western Ukraine.

[2] The first mention of the settlement, named after the birch tree (Ukrainian: береза, bereza), dates back to 1409, when the kenez (headman) Boncha prosecuted the culprit for some crime and a trial was held over him.

In the state tax list for 1427, it is said that Velikiy Berezny belongs to the possessions of the Uzhhorod Dominion of the Counts of Druget.

In September 1703, rebel units under the leadership of Ivan Betsa, who came down from the mountains, besieged the Uzhhorod fortress.

On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Velykyi Bereznyi became a rural settlement.
