==History== The settlement was founded in 1866 by German settlers as Alexanderfeld. It belonged to Odessky Uyezd of Kherson Governorate and was the administrative center of Aleksandrfeldskaya Volost. In 1914, after the start of World War I, it was renamed Suvorovo, to commemorate Alexander Suvorov, in a wave of eliminating German names.<ref name="diesendorf">{{cite book|last=Дизендорф|first=В.Ф. |title=Немцы России, населённые пункты и места поселения: Энциклопедический словарь|url=http://wolgadeutsche.net/diesendorf/Ortslexikon.php|year=2011|publisher=ЭРН|location=Moscow|language=Russian|page=24}}</ref> On 16 April 1920, Odesa Governorate split off, and Odessky Uyezd was moved to Odesa Governorate. In 1923, uyezds in Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic were abolished, and the governorates were divided into okruhas. In 1923, Suvorovo was renamed Tylihulo-Berezanka, and in 1966 Berezanka.<ref name="diesendorf"/><ref name="deanery">{{cite web|url=http://blagochin-berezanka.ortox.ru/blagochinie/view/id/1103918|title=История района|publisher=Berezanka Deanery|language=Russian|accessdate=5 March 2016|archive-date=29 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171129012847/http://blagochin-berezanka.ortox.ru/blagochinie/view/id/1103918|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 1923, Tylihulo-Berezanka became part of Anatolivka Raion of Odesa Okruha, with the administrative center in Anatolivka. In the same year, the center of the raion was moved to Tylihulo-Berezanka, and later raion was renamed Tylihulo-Berezanka.<ref name="deanery"/> In 1925, the governorates were abolished, and okruhas were directly subordinated to Ukrainian SSR. In 1926, Tylihulo-Berezanka was renamed Berezanka.<ref name="diesendorf"/> In 1930, okruhas were abolished, and on 27 February 1932, Odesa Oblast was established, and Tylihulo-Berezanka Raion was included into Odesa Oblast. On 22 September 1937, Mykolaiv Oblast split off Odesa Oblast, and Tylihulo-Berezanka Raion became part of newly created Mykolaiv Oblast. In January 1963, during the abortive Khrushchyov administrative reform, Tylihulo-Berezanka Raion was abolished, and Berezanka was included into Mykolaiv Raion. In 1966, Berezanka Raion was re-established in the area previously occupied by Tylihulo-Berezanka Raion.<ref name="enc-raion">{{cite web|url=http://history.mk.ua/rajony-rajony-nikolaevskoj-oblasti.htm|title=Районы Николаевской области|publisher=Николаевская область.
