Hresk (Belarusian: Грэск; Russian: Греск|Gresk; Polish: Hresk) is an agrotown in Slutsk District, Minsk Region, Belarus. It serves as the administrative center of Hresk selsoviet.[1]
Within the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Hresk was part of the Principality of Slutsk, itself a part of Nowogródek Voivodeship. In 1793, Hresk was acquired by the Russian Empire in the course of the Second Partition of Poland. It became a part of the Slutsky Uyezd of Minsk Governorate.
During World War II, Hresk was under German occupation from 27 June 1941 until 1 July 1944.
