- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Branickis are a Polish gentry family whose hereditary estate was the village of Branica (Lublin wojewodship), and whose members played a leading role in the public and political life of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the seventeenth-eighteenth centuries. They had land holdings and industrial enterprises in Poland, Right-Bank Ukraine (mainly in the Kiev province), and Belorussia. In particular, in 1774, Crown Hetman Franciszek Ksawery Branicki (c. 1730-1819) was given the Belaia Tserkov’ starostwo, at the time consisting of three towns and 111 villages, by the Polish King Stanisław Augustus.
