History of the Yaremichy
village
Yaremichy was founded by Yarmalay. Yarmalay
was the brother-in-law of the father of Kanstantsin Rayetski (the
landowner), from whom Kashyts purchased the estate. Yarmalay
first chose this place for building a water station. Because of
this, his beloved brother-in-law called it Yaremichy. At that
time Yaremichy was one of the best places for building a water station
because the river Nyoman flowed past here. The water station
served for shipping grain, wheat to the Baltics, Kletsk, and other
cities. On the bank stood brick buildings, which were called [...]
In the winter, grain was brought here by horses from
distant parts of the region. Grain was brought from Nyasvizh,
Haradzeya, Staubtsy, Slabodka, and other cities.
From a few cottages, a small hamlet grew up, which
was located on the bank of the river. The community began to grow
large. Because of the invasion of the Tatars, Yaremichy was
completely leveled and ruined. After the expulsion of the Tatars,
there began the settlement of this village by various peoples: Tatars,
Russians, Swedes, Jews. At this time the church was built.
Earlier on this place there was a gravesite with a
small chapel. The graves were demolished the church established
in their place. According to data, the establishment of the
church coincides with the 2nd division of Poland. In honor of
this, a bell was poured for the bell-tower with the year 1772 and the
inscription: III division Rechy Paspalitay. The inscription was
done in the Polish language.
The water station from this time lost its former
significance, since the Nyasvizh-Staubtsy-Hrodna railroad was
built. For convenience in speaking, the local inhabitants renamed
Yaromichy to Yaremichy.
