The area of the town of Shchedrin was purchased by the Rebbe [[The Tzemach Tzedek|Tzemach Tzedek]] in 5599 (1839) from Prince Shchedrinov, and was named after him.

After purchasing the land, the Rebbe Tzemach Tzedek encouraged his chassidim to move to live in the Jewish settlement, providing financial support to families, giving them tools to help them work the agricultural fields of the settlement, and established a special committee to manage the affairs of the residents. In 5602 (1842), Jewish settlement actually began there.

Line 25:

Most of the town's land did not remain under the ownership of the Rebbe Tzemach Tzedek, but was transferred to the names of the town's residents without payment. Through the Tzemach Tzedek's efforts, the residents received additional government benefits, which included a long-term loan that they repaid by paying percentage of the crops they grew.

The Tzemach Tzedek sold the forested area of the settlement to one of the wealthy chassidim from the town of Bobruisk, and the money he received from the sale was sent to establish Kollel Chabad.

Line 38:

After the passing of the Rebbe Tzemach Tzedek in 5626 (1866), most of the town's residents became connected to the Rebbe Maharash, despite the town's proximity to Bobruisk, the residence of Rebbe Shmarya Noach Schneersohn.

In 5669 (1909), a group of robbers and murderers attacked one of the town's houses and killed seven of its residents. The frightened townspeople sent a delegation to the Rebbe Rashab and asked him to strengthen the spirit of the residents by establishing a branch of Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim.

Their proposal was accepted, and at the beginning of 5670 (1910), the first group of students from Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch (from the group that studied in Babinovitch) moved there.
