Zdzitov

Zdzitov belongs to the country of the Yaselda, a river flowing through the wetlands of western Polesia. A medieval place called Zditov was counted among the centres on the southern borders of the older Lithuanian lands. The later village of Zditovo is recorded in 1563 within the Bluden district. Its position beside the Yaselda placed it among the settlements and estates of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, in a landscape where waterways and marshes shaped the bounds of local communities. The old name endured through the centuries of changing rule.
