Zarichne is better known for housing the 25th Airborne Brigade (Ukraine) (since summer of 2002)[3] and originally was established in 1957 as a military base for the 42nd Guards Tank Division. The town was named for the Guards designation of the unit.[4]
Until 26 January 2024, Hvardiiske was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Hvardiiske became a rural settlement.[5]
On 19 September 2024, the Verkhovna Rada voted to rename Hvardiiske to Zarichne.[6]
