In 1884, it had 65 morga of land, including 52 morgas of ploughland and 13 morgas of muddy meadows. The village included older, pre-property rights settlements: 13 - each had 4 morgas of ploughland and 1 morga of meadows and newer, post-property rights settlements: 10 - with more diverse acreage (from less than 1 morga up to 5 morgas).
