The settlement appeared in 1900 as a khutir Berkovets during the construction of the railroad Kiev - Kovel (1897-1903). The khutir consisted of a single homestead which served as a residence for local forest rangers. The settlement belonged to the Kiev-Podil Administration of State Property. In 1903 near the khutir was constructed a halt which later transformed into a rail station Bilychi. The station was named after a village that was located in close vicinity (today, part of Kiev city).
On February 11, 1941 the khutir Berkovets was given a status of an urban settlement Kotsiubynske.
