History :

Porozow, also known by the spellings Porozovo, Porosovo, Porasow and Porzwye, among others, is a small town located at 52° 56' north latitude, 24° 22' east longitude in modern-day Belarus. It is located 17 miles SSW of Wolkowysk (Volkovysk), a city in West Belarus. Porozow's location can be seen on a modern-day map by clicking here. The town of Wolkowysk was first mentioned in a manuscript written in 1005. By the 14th century the region became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which by the 16th century merged with Poland. The various partitions of Poland in the late 18th century resulted in control of Belarus, including the Grodno area where both Wolkowysk and Porozow are located, shifting to the Russian Empire. It was overrun during Napoleon’s invasion in 1812 and again saw battle in World War I. After the war, Belarus briefly became an independent republic, but was soon occupied by the red army and proclaimed a soviet republic. Ceded to Poland in 1921, it was again seized by the Soviets in 1939, and in 1941 was occupied forcibly by the Nazis. It returned to Soviet rule after World War II, and on the Soviet Union's collapse became an independent republic and member of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
