Dojlidy is one of the districts of the Polishcity ofBiałystok, formerly a village and farmlands. It is also known for its brewery, plywood factory and the Dojlidy fish ponds and recreation areas on the White River reservoirs. Until 1954 there was a Gmina Dojlidy, after which point it was incorporated into the city. Dojlidy term probably comes from the name of the tribe of Baltic peoples residing in these lands for centuries. In contrast to Bialystok, which until 1795 was part of the Crown, Dojlidy, belonged to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
History
The term Dojlidy probably comes from the name of the Balts tribe inhabiting these lands centuries ago . Scientific sources do not indicate the name of the tribe "Dojlidy" from these areas. The nearest Yotvingian tribes recorded in history pages were located behind the Biebrza muds, e.g. Połekszanie. Perhaps it comes from Lithuanian settlers brought by the first owner Jakub Tabutowicz. Another concept is related to the Lithuanian word "dailide" meaning carpenter, carpenter, which makes it possible to speculate that Dojlidy was a settlement of carpenters and carpenters, which in turn confirms the forest character of the area. This concept was presented by prof. Michał Kondratiuk. A similar origin of the name Dojlid is also indicated by Andrzej Danieluk, underlining the Old Belarusian root of the word "dojlida" meaning carpenter. Dojlidy was already known in the 15th century as a center of goods and a village when it belonged to of the Radziwiłł family. In the second half of the 15th century the estate was owned by the Raczkowicz family, and in 1528 it was bought by the Chodkiewicz family. Settlements with a similar name existed in the area of Lithuania.
