History
Rudobiełka was a royal village, administratively located in the Mozyrz County in the Mińsk Voivodeship of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[2] In 1661, it was granted to Aleksander Hilary Połubiński in reward for his merits in defending Poland during the Swedish invasion, and later passed to the Łappa family.[2] Dominik Łappa drained the surrounding marshes with a new drainage system, raising the fertility of the soil.[2] Following the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, the village passed to Russia. In 1874, the Łapp family was forced to sell the estate to Baron Lilienfeld.[2]
It was established by a decree of August 31, 1954, by merging three adjacent settlements: Rudabelka (Belarusian: Рудабелка), Rudnya (Рудня), and Karpilawka (Карпілаўка), replacing Karpilawka as the administrative center.
