History
Velyka Dymerka is first mentioned in written sources in 1552 as Dymerka (Ukrainian: Димерка), exempt from paying taxes because of its destruction in 1482 at the hands of Tatar forces commanded by Meñli I Giray. Its name originates from the fact that the production of saltpeter and tar in the village caused smoke to constantly rise above the village. The Ukrainian word for smoke is dym (дим), hence Dymerka.[2]
In 1923, Dymerka was renamed to Velyka Dymerka, which roughly means "Great Dymerka".[2] From 1930 to 1937, Velyka Dymerka served as the administrative center of Brovary Raion.[4] During World War II, Velyka Dymerka was occupied by Nazi Germany from September 17, 1941 to September 23, 1943.[2]
In 2000, the village's status was upgraded to that of an urban-type settlement.[2] On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Velyka Dymerka became a rural settlement.[5]
