Селище Хорошів розташоване на річці Ірша в 50 кілометрах на північ від Житомира.

Вперше згадується в 1545 році як село Олександропіль, назване на честь боярина Олександра Пронського. В XVII-XVIII сторіччях перебувало у власності литовського княжого роду Сапєг, називалося Хорошки або Горошки.

В 1796 році імператриця Катерина II подарувала село прославленому полководцю Михайлові Кутузову, який бував тут у 1802-1805 роках. На місці садиби Кутузова зберігся Кутузівський парк XVIII століття.
