The village of Ogdemier was first mentioned in 1630 under the name "Idemer," and in 1770 it was referred to as "Gdemer." On a map from 1750, the road passing through the village was designated as a main route. The village was advantageously located and attracted the attention of the nobility.

In 1867, it was part of the Worocewicze wolost in the Kobrin district of the Grodno Governorate. At that time, the area recorded 369 "souls," which also included people living in nearby estates.

+ +

In 1860, there were manorial estates in this region, known as Ogdemier-1 and Ogdemier-2, owned by Mr. Zablodsky and Mrs. Kurovskaya. Given that they owned an equal number of souls, they were likely relatives who had inherited and divided the land.

+ +

In 1890, the rural community had 687 desyatinas of land, of which 370 were arable. The estates of Ostrowki, Ogdemier, and the Zawadycze tract occupied 583 desyatinas.

+ +

In 1905, the village had a population of 573 and a school.

+ +

During World War I, when the district was occupied by German forces, the village's population decreased significantly. Many residents became refugees, and about half did not return after the war.

+ +

From 1921 to 1939, during the time of the II Polish Republic, the village was part of the Worocewicze Gmina in the Drochiczyn district of Polesie Voivodeship.
