History
Since foundation in the 16th century Muravanka was a part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In 1795 the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was partitioned between Russia, Prussia and Austria and the village became a part of the Russian Empire. After World War I it's a place in Nowogródek Voivodeship of the Second Polish Republic and after World War 2 it was returned to Belarus.
