History
By 1873, Staroe Selo had a public primary school, but the closest railway and telegraph stations were in Ratomka (6 miles northeast) and the closest doctor, post office and synagogue were in Zaslav (8 miles north). By 1890, there were five inns, two mills, a sawmill, and a brewery.
Rakachevo field (Ракачево Поле), located about 2 kilometers southeast of Staroe Selo along the Ptych river, included an apple orchard and apiary in the early 1900s.
