Fanipol

There are many legends, according to which the name of Fanipol city appeared. However, a legend about the fact that a pan lived in ancient times in the Belarusian land is the most plausible and most favorite among the local population. He was a rich, but a very wicked. He constantly whipped peasants for any fault. The pan had two daughters: Fanya and Polya. They were distinguished by their kindness. The peasants came to them in order to thank the ladies. The girls asked people to land on the fruit trees in gratitude.

Once Fanya and Polya helped the cook Hanna and the groom Vasil escape together. The pan got angry and decided to punish the daughters: to flog them to death with rods. But, the entire rod turned into a branch of the apple miraculously, the pan of anger had died, and the girls went away.

Fanipol got its name in honor of Fanya and Polya, and only an apple orchard remained in their memory. Maybe that's why the golden apple was depicted on the city's coat of arms.

The first mention of the town dated back to 1856. It was a farm in the Samohvalovichskaya parish of the Minsk district in those years. It belonged to the landlords Enelfeldt and Bogdashevsky. Tokarevskaya station was opened on the territory of Fanipol in 1871, named after the governor of the province of Minsk - Vladimir Tokarev. By the way, V. Tokarev is the founder of the Brest-Moscow railway.The station began to be called Fanipol already in 1976. So it is called to this day.

A city life
