In 1774, the Polish King Augustus Stanislaw Poniatowski received the wealthiest in Ukraine, Belotserkovsky. On December 13, 1774, the Crown Prince Hetman of Poland Franciszek Ksawery Branicki received land from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Ksawery Branicki received these lands as a reward for the suppression of Cretaceous-Cossack uprisings at Koliivshchyna. His new possessions included the cities of Bila Tserkva and Skvyra, including 134 villages with a population of over 40 thousand people. Since then, the Bila Tserkva has become the private property of the Branicki Counts.
