History
{| class="wikitable floatleft" style="margin: 0 1em 0 0;" ! Year || Population |- | 1798 || 104 |- | 1858 || 133 |- | 1959 || 190 |- | 1970 || 169 |- | 1979 || 133 |- | 1987 || 139 |- | 2001 || 67 |} Zervynos was first mentioned in written sources in 1742. However, 24 campsites, dating from the Stone and Iron Ages, show that people lived in the area for much longer time. The right bank evolved from a village owned by a noble and the left bank from a settlement of forest workers. Combined, both sides had about 10 homesteads and a hundred inhabitants.
