Description of the village of Mozhary in the book "Statisticheskoye Opisaniye Prikhodov i Tserkvei Volhynskoi Yeparkhii" (Statistical description of parishes in the (Russian Orthodox) Diocese of Volhynia), by N.V. Teodorovich (Pochayev, 1888).

There were 169 houses in this village around the year 1888 : 1375 people were Russian Orthodoxes, 21 Roman Catholics, and 26 were Jews. The 1st school was organised as late as in the year 1883, and was supervised by the Russian Orthodox Church (from chronicle of Mozhary, written by a school librarian just after the World War II, one can learn that only (Russian Orthodox) religion, basics of mathematics, and the Russian language itself, were taught at this school).

It has been said that inhabitants of this village descent from ancient Russian nobles.<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://images.rootsweb.com/css/h/h.css">
