Village Tatarja

The village on Schubert’s 1832 map, named Tatarow. It comes from the Polish name Tatarow. It is quite likely that the name appeared during the settlement of Tatars in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, as a hypothesis. Our village is also shown on the military topographic map of the Russian Empire from 1846-1863: In 1858, the village in the Kobryn district, Grodno province, in the Ziolow volost, the center of the rural community, part of the Ziolow estate of the landowner Tutkiewicz, had 186 registered souls (state peasants).
