Pukhovichi was first mentioned in the XVI century. According to the administrative-territorial reform, in the middle of the 16th century in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the area became part of the Minsk district of the Minsk region.
As a result of the second division of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1793), the Pukhovichs became part of the Russian Empire, where they became the center of the parish of the Igumen district of the Minsk province. From the end of the XVIII century the town was owned by the Sulistrovsky, later the estate changed its owners many times. In 1863, a public school was opened in Pukhovichi, in 1874 a wooden church of the Nativity of the Virgin was built. In 1886, the town had 73 courtyards, a church, three synagogues, a public school, two breweries, 26 shops, 4 regular fairs. In 1897, 1912 people lived in the town, 92% of whom were Jews. In 1919, Pukhovichi entered the BSSR, where on June 17, 1924 they became the center of the Pukhovichi region. On July 29, 1925, at the regional congress of Soviets, a decision was made to transfer the center from Pukhovichi to the village of Maryina Gorka, but the district retained its former name.
In the 1920s, part of the Jewish population left Pukhovichi. In 1926, 929 Jews lived here, accounting for 43% of the population. In July 1941, the village was occupied by units of the Wehrmacht. In September 1941, Jews from the Pukhovichi ghetto were transferred to the ghetto in Maryina Gorka and killed there. The liberation of the village took place in July 1944.
The historic Church of the Nativity of the Virgin 1874 was dismantled in the 1950s, in the second half of the 20th century a church with the same name was opened in the village in the building of the former club.
