History

Rudobiełka was a royal village, administratively located in the Mozyrz County in the Mińsk Voivodeship of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1661, it was granted to Aleksander Hilary Połubiński in reward for his merits in defending Poland during the Swedish invasion, and later passed to the Łappa family. Dominik Łappa drained the surrounding marshes with a new drainage system, raising the fertility of the soil. Following the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, the village passed to Russia. In 1874, the Łapp family was forced to sell the estate to Baron Lilienfeld.
It was established by a decree of August 31, 1954, by merging three adjacent settlements: Rudabelka, Rudnya, and Karpilawka, replacing Karpilawka as the administrative center.
