In 1795, as a result of the Third Partition of Poland, the settlement was annexed by the Russian Empire, within which it was administratively located in Lutsky Uyezd in Volhynian Governorate. It saw an influx of Jews as a result of Russian discriminatory policies (see Pale of Settlement).

In the interwar period, it was the seat of a gmina, administratively located in the Łuck County in the Wołyń Voivodeship of Poland. According to the 1921 census, the town's population was 79.8% Jewish, 9.2% Polish, 5.7% German, 4.1% Ukrainian.[3]

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, it was initially occupied by the Soviet Union, then by Nazi Germany from June 1941, and then once again by the Soviets from 1944.

A local newspaper is published here since January 1945.[4]

In January 1989 the population was 14 391 people.[5] City since August 1989.
