History
The first mention of Ozyat in written sources dates back to the year 1516, when the Grand Duke of Lithuania Sigismund I granted a land allotment to Ozyata Sidoru Gaike [3] .
In the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, the estate changed owners many times, moving from one genus to another. The two owners of Ozyat were the Berestean coughtans - Jan Gaika (1566-1575) and Jan Nestorovich (1721-1731). In the middle of the XVIII century, the estate was divided into three parts - Big Ozyaty, Small Ozyaty and Ozyaty-Ambush. The Great Ozyaty in the second half of the 18th century were owned by the Vyganovskys, and then by Polinyaki, Malye Ozyaty from the 18th century and until 1939 belonged to the Vereshchakov clan, and Ozyaty-Zasadniki belonged to church possessions [3] .
After the third partition of the Commonwealth (1795) as part of the Russian Empire, from 1801 belonged to the Kobrin district of the Grodno province [4] .
In the 19th century, the Shapitovskys, and then again the Vyganovs, owned the Great Ozyat. The Vereshchakov family built a manor house in Maly Ozyat and set up a landscape park.

According to the Riga Peace Treaty (1921), the village became part of interwar Poland , where it belonged to the Kobrin district of the Polesie Voivodeship . Since 1939 - as part of the BSSR [4] .
