Bzhozuvka / Huta NiemenaCompiled from the sources at the bottom of the page by Ellen Sadove Renck
In Huta Niemena, near Ivye was designated as an colony fabr. (work colony) of Dokudowo in the First Uchastok, Lida powiat, Nowogrodskie voevodstvo of Poland. The Justice of the Peace was in Lida and the Justice Court in Wilno. The 1928 population was 604. The railway station was nine kilometers away in Niemen. The post office, telegraph and telephone were in Lida. Huta Niemena had one Catholic church and glassworks. Huta refers to glass-making; Niemena to its proximity to the Neman River. There is a Polish page on the glass manufactured here; if you paste the link into google translate, you can almost understand it. Notable is the fact that about 1/3 of the glassware sold in Poland in the 1930s was made here. For an English-language page on the company, with an example of the glass it made, click here. Its Slownik entry in English - scroll down. Sources: If
