The settlement was first mentioned in 1563 as part of Barysaw starost in Vitebsk Voivodeship of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.[3] In 1793, it was part of the territories annexed by the Russian Empire.[3]

During the French invasion of Russia in 1812, the French army led by Nicolas Oudinot captured the settlement at the Battle of Loschniza on 23 November.[4]
