The city of Krasnohrad was founded as a Bilevska fortress in 1731–1733,[4] as part of the Ukrainian line defence fortifications, which ran from the Dnieper to the Donets. In 1784, the fortress received the name Konstantinograd (Kostyantynohrad) in honour of Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich of Russia.[4] In 1797, it received city status. In 1922, Kostyantynohrad was renamed Krasnohrad during a "de-imperialization" drive carried out by the Soviet Union.[4][5]
It is located on the Berestova River 101 kilometres (63 mi) to the south of the city of Kharkiv. In 2021, about 20,000 people lived in the city.[4]
On 3 April 2024, the Committee on the Organization of State Power, Local Self-government, Regional Development, and Urban Planning in the Verkhovna Rada stated their support for renaming the city to Berestyn.[6] On 19 September 2024, the Verkhovna Rada voted to rename Krasnohrad to Berestyn.[7]
