Unknown Area Communities
Fairly rural even today, the city of Lida (designated: miasto powiat or
county town) is and was the largest population center in the district.
The next largest towns (miasteczko) were Eisiskes, Iwje, Lipniszki,
Ostryna,
Radun, Szczuczyn, Voronovo, Wasiliszki, and Zaludok. Over two hundred
small
communities existed, ranging from hamlet (volost) to wies (village) to
gmina
(town). The area also included work "colonies." Therefore, for web
considerations, we have decided to group communities roughly by
geographic
proximity, using the ShtetlSeeker's distance function as a guide. The
table
of locality names may take time to load. Please be patient.
Links to the Shtetl Coordinators for each town exist. If you do not
see a coordinator for "your" town, please consider volunteering!
These towns appear in some references to the Lida District, but
we
have been unable to identify them unambiguously, or to locate them. [In
one case, there seem to have been two places with the same name]. If
you
have further information, please contact the Lida
District Researchers.
Other Names
Since a primary source for information on these communities is the 1929
Polish Business Directory, names reflect Polish spelling. The alternate
spellings list is not exhaustive. Using the listed latitude and
longitude
for localities of interest in the ShtetlSeeker
may generate a more complete list of names.

the 1929 Directory, but was assigned based on geographic coordinates.
