Tereshkovichy

Tereshkovichy lies south of Gomel in the countryside around the Sozh. A sixteenth-century register records the settlement among the lands contested between Lithuania and Moscow. Its inhabitants shared fishing grounds near the river with neighbouring villages, while forest beekeeping lands also figure in the records. An inventory of the Gomel estate in the 1640s lists Tereshkovichy as a small village of four households.
