In the interwar period, Brzostowica Wielka, as it was known in Polish, was administratively located in the Grodno County in the Białystok Voivodeship of Poland. In the 1921 census, 51.4% people declared Jewish nationality, 43.5% declared Polish nationality and 5.1% declared Belarusian nationality.[3]
During World War II, the town was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, then by Nazi Germany until 1944, and re-occupied by the Soviet Union afterwards.[citation needed]
