Місто Летч відоме з початку XI століття, коли у братовбивчій війні між синами київського князя Володимира на річці Альті загинув князь Борис.
Володимир Мономах у 1117 році побудував на цьому місці кам'яний храм (зруйнований татарами, залишки розібрані в XVI сторіччі).
Назва Бориспіль з'явилася в литовський період.
За часів польського панування місто отримало Магдебурзьке право, населення брало участь у визвольній боротьбі. З XVIII століття - великий економічний центр на Полтавському шляху. У радянські часи статус міста як великого транспортного вузла доповнив міжнародний аеропорт "Бориспіль" та найкраща в країні автомагістраль Київ-Бориспіль.
Пам'яток дуже мало.
