Komsomolskaya Street appeared in the sixteenth century, with its name changing several times over the next couple of centuries. Initially it was called Felitsianskaya (in reference to the Jesuit Church chapel), then it became Bogoyavlenskaya, and later – Bogadelnaya. Since, the street was straightened and stone two-storey houses in the style of classicism and art nouveau were built along it.In 1922 the street was given its current name – Komsomolskaya, with its establishments corresponding to its new name: the editorial offices of youth newspapers and magazines – “Pioneer of Belarus”, “Ilyich’s Sparks”, as well as “Junger Arbeter” and “Junger Leninets”, which were published in Yiddish.
