History

[edit]

The name probably originates from the Belarusian word hanchar (ганчар-). It was founded in 1925 by the peasants of the local villages. In 1926, there were five houses and 23 people in the village. In 1934, the kolkhoz "Stalin's victory" was founded. In 1941–1944, the village was occupied by German troops. In 1967, the village Novaya Vyoska ("New Village") was incorporated in Hancharowka. In 1997, it had a population of 78; in 2008 – 61. At the village cemetery there is a monument established in 1975 in memory of Soviet soldiers.
