The geometric center of Ukraine is a point that was first identified in 1989 by Doctor of Geographical Sciences Viktor Shevchenko as the geographical center of Ukraine.
He came to the conclusion that the center of Ukraine is a point with geographic coordinates of 48*21" north latitude and 31*10" east longitude. This point is located on the outskirts of Dobrovelychkivka, in the "Kozatska krynytsya" district.
By the decision of the district council in 1991, a granite memorial was installed.

Геометричний центр України - точка, яку вперше було визначено в 1989 році доктором географічних наук Віктором Шевченком як географічний центр України.
Він дійшов висновку, що центром України є точка з географічними координатами 48*21" північної широти та 31*10" східної довготи. Ця точка розташована на околиці Добровеличківки, в районі "Козацька криниця".
Рішенням районної ради в 1991 році було встановлено гранітний пам'ятний знак.
Проте в 2005 році внаслідок нових досліджень було встановлено, що географічний центр України знаходиться біля міста Шпола на Черкащині. Точці в Добровеличківці присвоїли інше почесне звання - геометричний центр України.
