During many centuries the settlement was in possession of several families.
Eyewitness Sarnyts'kyi wrote in 1570: "above the river Dzvan is devastated castle Dzvan, once the property of princes Ostroz'kyis" ("castellum desertum Dswan ducis Ostrowiensis habitaculum").
According to A.Shnaider's assumptions, the first arms of this settlement was "Pohon'" (Pursuit) - the emblem of Lithuanian princes Troidenovychis and their descendants Ostroz'kyis.
