Little is known about the Jewish community of Stobykhva.
According to the census of 1847, Jewish society consisted of 213 people.
In 1897, the Jewish population numbered 492 - 40,5% of total population.
In 1913, the Jews owned all 6 grocery shops in Stobykhva.
Zemsky (Institute of Local Government) doctor was the Jewish Sarah Nemaya. This is very interesting, because women at that time rarely held the position of a doctor.
Also, the Jew Zus Nemirovsky rented the only mill in the township.
During WWI, more than 100 Jews left Stobykhva.
