History
Bilozirka was founded in 1812. In 1922, it was renamed Barmashove (Бармашове) after a local Soviet activist. In March 2016, it received its current name in the course of decommunization in Ukraine.[2]
Until 18 July 2020, Bilozirka was located in Vitovka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Mykolaiv Oblast to four. The area of Berezanka Raion was merged into Mykolaiv Raion.[3][4]
