==History==
===Early history===
Brovary is a historic town, first mentioned in 1630.<ref name=esu/> At the time there were only 60 or 70 houses in Brovary, but in 1649 a Cossack [[sotnia]] is known to have been formed there. Cossacks took part in the [[Khmelnytsky Uprising]] under [[Bohdan Khmelnytsky]]'s leadership.
Originally, the town was called Brovari ({{Lang-uk|Броварі}}), but the name was changed in 1969 to make it [[Russification of Ukraine|more similar to Russian]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-11-28 |title=Машина часу.

The town got its name after breweries where special beer was made. Travellers who went to [[Kyiv]] often stopped in Brovary, rested, dined and drank the local beer. Many famous people visited Brovary while travelling to Kyiv. A Ukrainian poet, [[Taras Shevchenko]], was among them. He visited this town many times in the period from 1829 to 1847. Nowadays there is a monument to Shevchenko in the place from which Brovary began its history as a town, in its old centre.
