In the 15th century, Perkowicze belonged to the Turów and later the Wojtkowicz family. This was confirmed by King Sigismund the Old in 1538.

From the late 15th–16th centuries, the village was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In 1596, it was purchased by Bishop Kirill Terlecki, who built a fortified manor here.

Later it belonged to the Orzeszko family and then to the Wyslouch family, who owned it until 1939.

From 1795, it became part of the Russian Empire. The village is shown on Schubert’s map (1826–1840):
