Dojlidy is a district of the Polish city of Białystok, formerly a village and farmlands. It is also known for its brewery, plywood factory (Fabryka Sklejek Biaform SA) 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. District with the largest area in Bialystok.[2]
History
[edit]In contrast to Białystok, which until the Third Partition of Poland in 1795 was part of the Kingdom of Poland, Dojlidy, belonged to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania within the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[3]
According to the 1921 census, the population of Dojlidy was 95.3% Polish and 4.7% Belarusian.[4]
Name
[edit]The term Dojlidy comes from the Lithuanian word "dailidė" meaning carpenter, which makes it possible to speculate that Dojlidy was a settlement of carpenters,[5] which in turn is confirmed by 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,[6] underlining the Old Belarusian root of the loanword from Lithuanian –word "dojlida" meaning carpenter (in modern Belarusian "дойлід" means "architect").
