[RO] Monumetul inchinat eroilor din localitate Branesti cazuti la
datori in cel de al 2 lea razboi mondial , ridicat de primaria
comunei in apropierea Gari branesti unde se afla si, piata.
SATUL BRANESTI- este cea mai veche asezare a comunei. Nu se poate
stabili cu precizie anul in care au aparut primele asezari, dar
documentele scrise atesta existenta sa inca din a II-a jumatate a
secolului al XVI-lea, având deci o vechime atestata de peste 400
ani. In Tara Româneasca intre anii 1591-1592 a fost domnitor Stefan
Voda Surdul, fiul lui Ioan Voda cel Cumplit, care a cumparat mosia
“La Zgâriata” pe apa Pasarea, langa mosia
Branestilor.
Hrisovul din 1608 al lui Radu Voda, mentioneaza ca “semnele
acestui sat sa se stie, in lung din matca Pasarii pana in drumul
Piteasca si in lat, din hotarul Branestilor, pana in hotarul
Crasanilor”.
Fixata pe teren, vatra satului Zgâriata a fost in partea de sud a
satului Branesti, la cca. 400-500 m de cartierul Bajenari, pe
intrândul înspre padure , in stânga actualului drum care trece spre
zagaz (cunoscut in trecut sub denumire de drumul morii ). La acest
zagaz, pe apa Pasarea, a existat moara Zgâriata, amintita de
documentele mosiei Branesti si însemnata pe hartile cadastrale. In
1608 satul si mosia Zgâriata au fost cumparate de vornicul Cernica
si sotia lui Chiajna, iar locuitorii, dupa cum glasuieste amintitul
Hrisov “ din megiesi cum erau s-au vândut ei toti cu toate
mosiile lor, ca sa fie rumani”. Satul Zgâriata s-a risipit
prin 1738 din cauza unei ciume care a bântuit in Bucuresti si in
împrejurimi. Locuitorii ramasi in viata, s-au stabilit in satul
Branesti.
In 1608 satul si mosia Branesti sunt proprietatea vornicului
Cernica. In 1677, jumatatea din mosia Branesti trece in
proprietatea Mitropoliei Bucuresti, care la rândul ei intre anii
1719-1750 cedeaza Patriarhiei din Alexandria acesta proprietate a
Manastirii Cernica.
In anul 1863 mosia Branestilor este supusa secularizarii si devine
mosie a statului. Intre anii 1800-1830 in satul Branesti, migreaza
primele familii de locuitori din Sudul Dunarii (sârbi si bulgari).
Influenta acestora se resimte si astazi in limba si
obiceiuri.
Denumirea satului Branesti vine de la cuvântul “Brana”
si înseamna “Poiana” - loc închis intre paduri. Ca
urmare a pozitiei sale geografice a apropierii de capitala, satul
Branesti a cunoscut o dezvoltare rapida in secolele XVIII-XX.
In cercetarile efectuate in 1976 de profesorul Gherman Dragos pe
ostrovul din lacul Branesti de pe Valea Pasarea s-a constatat ca
asezarea este mult mai veche. Pe acest ostrov s-au gasit vestigiile
unei asezari de tip “gumelnite”, reprezentate prin
fragmente de ceramica lucrate din pasta fina de culoare
rosie-cenusie pana la negricioasa decorate cu brâuri in relief,
alveole, motive formate din linii incizate, cutite si razuitoare
din cremene, dalti din piatra lustruita de forma trapezoidala si
colturi rotunjite, care dovedesc ca ocupatia locuitorilor era
agricultura. S-au mai gasit statuete feminine legate de cultul
fecunditatii. Aceste fragmente vorbesc clar de existenta unei
asezari neolitice in perimetrul comunei.
In satul Branesti , biserica “Sf. Ierarh Nicolae”
cladita in 1859 din caramida are forma de trefla, cu pridvor închis
si o singura turla. Clopotnita este cladita in 1936 si este cu
bolta la intrare. Prima biserica a satului Branesti era din lemn,
avea tot hramul Ierarhului Nicolae si a fost construita de
Gricorasco. Era amplasata la 50 m sud de actuala biserica, in
vechiul cimitir, din care de mai pastreaza numai piatra pe care era
“Sfânta masa”.

War 2, high village hall near where the Gari Branesti and
market.
Branesti village, is the oldest settlement of the village. Can not
pinpoint the year when the first settlements appeared, but written
documents attest to its existence since the second half of XVI
century, with so old certified over 400 years. In Wallachia between
1591-1592 was ruler Stefan Voda deaf son of John the Terrible, who
bought the estate "scratch" the water bird, near the estate
Branesti.
Charter in 1608 by Radu Voda, that "to know the signs of this
village, along the road until jelly Bird cower and wide, from the
border Branesti until Crasani border."
Fixed on the ground, the home village was scratched in the south of
the village Branesti, approx. 400-500 m of refugee district, the
bulge toward the forest, left the road going to the barrier current
(formerly path name of the mill). This dam, water bird, there was
scratched die, remember the estate documents and marked on maps
Branesti land. In 1608 the village and estate were bought
magistrate scratched Cernica Chiajna and his wife, and the people
as to the said charter reads "the megiesi as were all of them have
sold their lands although, to be Rumani." The village was scattered
scratched by 1738 due to the plague that has haunted in Bucharest
and surroundings. The inhabitants survived, and settled in the
village Branesti.
In 1608 the village and estates are owned Branesti Cernica
magistrate. In 1677, half of the estate passes to the Metropolitan
Church Branesti Bucharest, which in turn between the Patriarchate
of Alexandria from 1719 to 1750 gives it ownership of Cernica
Monastery. Estate in 1863 and is secularization Branesti estate is
subject to the state. Between 1800-1830 Branesti village, the first
families of people migrating south of the Danube (Serbs and
Bulgarians). Their influence is felt today in the language and
customs.
The name comes from the word village Branesti "Bran" and means
"Meadow" - dark place between forests. Due to its geographical
proximity to the capital, Branesti village has grown rapidly in the
twentieth century XVIII.
In research conducted in 1976 by Professor Herman cute Branesti the
islet of Lake Valley Bird was found that the settlement is much
older. On this island were found remains of settlements "Gumelnita"
represented by fragments of pottery made of fine red-gray to
blackish in relief decorated belts, pockets, pattern formed by
incised lines, knives and scrapers of flint, polished stone chisels
trapezoidal and rounded corners, proving that the occupation of the
inhabitants was agriculture. There were found about cult statues
female fecundity. These fragments clearly speak of the existence of
a Neolithic settlement in the village perimeter.
In the village Branesti, "St. Nicholas' brick built in 1859 has the
form of clubs, with a porch and a single tower closed. The belfry
is built in 1936 and is the arch at the entrance. The first church
was wooden Branesti village, have all dedicated to Nicholas and was
built Gricorasco. It was located 50 m south of the present church,
in the old cemetery, of which retains only stone that was "Holy
Table."
