In 1882, a railway station was built here on the railway line that connected Warsaw, Brest and Moscow. It gave a powerful impetus to the development of the place. Within two decades Zhabinka turned from a village into a town, attracting people of commerce, after the station boosted the economic development of the place.
For 125 years, the town has been sprawling along the road from the railway station southwards to the highway Brest-Moscow, that is the major transcontinental traffic artery E30 today. After World War II a big sugar refinery was built north of the railway line. A big settlement appeared around it.
Today Kirov Street starts form the railway station, runs across the town center with a big square and a park, further on southwards to the highway.
Notable peopleEdit
In 2004, a Polish woman named Floria Budziszewska, who risked her life to save two Jewish children in Zhabinka, was posthumously awarded the Righteous Among Nations title.[2]
