Irpin under the jurisdiction of Kyiv oblast,
Ukraine, situated on the Irpin River 26 km from Kyiv.
It was founded in 1902 as a railway junction. In February 1918,
when the Central Rada returned to Kyiv, Irpin was the site of
several battles between the Sich Riflemen and the Red Army, and
in late 1918, of clashes between the Black Sea Battalion of the
Army of the Ukrainian National Republic and Hetman government
units.
Today it is a popular health resort and main industries are the
building-materials industry and machine building: it has one of
the largest brick-and-tile plants in Ukraine, a wall-materials
and industrial-plastics complex, and a plant that produces
machines for the local peat industry. Furniture and leather
goods are also manufactured there. Irpin is home to the National
Writers' Union of Ukraine. The city boasts of numerous parks
and, since 2015, has been promoted as “the city of parks.”
The city topped the ranking of migratory attractiveness and
was among the three safest cities in the country. Irpin
was a city of health and sports, a city of cozy parks
and beautiful squares, a city of children's smiles and couples
in love, a city of happy people.
