Irpin (Ukrainian: Ірпі́нь), or Irpen (Russian: Ирпе́нь) is a town located on the Irpin River in Kiev Oblast (province) right next to Kiev city in northern Ukraine. Portion of Irpin Municipality is located within the city of Kiev.
Administratively, it is incorporated as a city of oblast significance and serves as an administrative center of Irpin Municipality, which includes the city of Irpin and three urban-type settlements. Its population is approximately 86,757 (2017 est.).
The city has a railway station built in 1899. Starting from 2003, the "Irpen Film Festival" for alternative cinematography takes place every year.
Since the 17th century on territory of Irpin, there was a village of Romanivka and khutir Lyubka. In the 19th century there appeared Severynivka village and khutirs Rudnya and Stoyanka.
Irpin was formed in 1899 as a passing loop, during construction of the Kiev—Kovel railway line. Railway workers founded the town near the railway road along with other localities such as Bucha and Vorzel. The city's name (along with the city of Vorzel) was chosen due to its location on the Irpin River.
From July 26, 1941, right after the Battle of Kiev, it was occupied by the Wehrmacht until early February 1944. Most of its Jewish population was killed in either Babi Yar or other massacres.
