Pahost was first shown on the maps of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the 16th century as part of Lubuszany Parish, Minsk Powiat of Minsk Voivodeship. In 1668 it was granted the status of miasteczko by John II Casimir Vasa. Between 16 and 17 June 1708, on his way to Lubuszany during the Great Northern War, Charles XII of Sweden passed through Pahost, devastating the region. In 1721 Pahost had nine dwellings and was in Orsha Powiat, owned by a landowner. Augustus III of Poland affirmed the miasteczko privileges of Pahost in 1746.[2]
