==History== Within the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Smarhon was part of Vilnius Voivodeship. Forty percent of the names of Smarhon District's settlements have remained of Lithuanian origin, while residents of Smarhon once spoke in the Eastern Aukštaitian-Vilnian dialect of Lithuanian language. It was a private town of the Zenowicz, Radziwiłł and Przezdziecki noble families until 1830. During the Great Northern War, Kings Charles XII of Sweden and Stanisław Leszczyński of Poland met in the town in 1708, before Stanisław departed for Malbork.
