History 
The settlement was founded in 1639 in connection with the construction of the Vvedensky Monastery (it was built as an almshouse for the sick and crippled Cossacks of the Krasnoyarsk burg), since 1678 - a village. 1639 went down in history as the year of the founding of Berezovka. It was in this year that the monks of the Spassky Monastery from Yeniseisk, Ivan and Gerasim, bought land from Ataman Miloslav Koltsov at the mouth of the Berezovka River for the construction of the Vvedensky Monastery.

However, as the facts testify, the first settlements of the Cossacks appeared on the Beryozovska land a few years before this historical event. The founders of Berezovka are considered to be the Cossacks who came to Siberia together with Andrei Dubensky: Shumka Vostrykh, Dementy Zlobin - their names remained in the history of the village in the names of streets and microdistricts.

In 1678, a church was built in the monastery, and Berezovka received the status of a village.

With the introduction of volost government in Siberia in 1735, the village of Berezovka became the center of the Berezovskaya volost. At the same time, the Moskovsky tract was being built through the village, linking Moscow with Irkutsk (it passed through today's streets of Oleinikov and the Soviet Army). In 1768, the Vvedensky Monastery in Berezovsky was closed, and the volost center was transferred to the village of Ladeyskoye.

In 1821 a stone temple was built in the village, and in 1840 a crossing across the Yenisei was created. The revival of the former glory of the Berezovka land is associated with the construction of a pontoons in 1840 and the opening of a ferry across the Yenisei.
