Klichaw

Klichaw is known since 1592. At the time it was a village, Klichevo, which belonged to Vitebsk Voivodeship. In September 1772, as a result of the First Partition of Poland, the town was transferred to the Russian Empire and became a part of Minsk Governorate. On July 17, 1924 the governorate was abolished as well, and Klichaw became the administrative center of Klichaw Raion, which belonged to Bobruysk Okrug of Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. On January 15, 1938 the raion was transferred to Mogilev Region.{{cite web|url=http://archives.gov.by/index.php?id=989746|script-title=ru:Административно-территориальное деление Беларуси|publisher=Белорусский научно-исследовательский центр электронной документации|language=Russian|accessdate=12 February 2012}} In 1938, Klichaw was granted an urban-type settlement status.

During the Second World War, the town was occupied by German troops. On October 14 1941, the Germans took all of Klichaw's Jews to the edge of the woods near Poplavy. There, they shot them.{{cite web | url=https://collections.yadvashem.org/en/untold-stories/killing-site/14626158-Poplavy | title=YV360 }} Later, however, Klichaw raion became one of the centers of the partisan activity. In March 1942, the settlement went under complete control of partisans, and later they even opened Klichaw airport for flights. In 1944, the German troops were moved west of Klichaw, and on September 20, 1944 the settlement was included in the newly established Bobruysk Region, which was abolished in 1954. Klichaw was then returned to Mogilev Oblast. In 2000, it was granted town status.{{cite web|url=http://region.mogilev.by/ru/page/istoricheskie_khroniki_klichevskogo_raiona|script-title=ru:Исторические хроники Кличевского района|publisher=Могилёвский областной исполнительный комитет|language=Russian|accessdate=14 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110826190616/http://www.region.mogilev.by/ru/page/istoricheskie_khroniki_klichevskogo_raiona|archive-date=26 August 2011|url-status=dead}}
