It is situated near the tripoint joining Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus, in the attractive touristic region of Polesia.

[6] According to the census of 1921, Tamashowka consisted of a forester's lodge with three houses and a total of 18 inhabitants, eight men and ten women.

Immediately after the war, Count Tomasz Zamoyski divided his property in Tamashowka and the land was bought by Jews from Włodawka.

[8] Tamashowka established a number of social and economic connections with Włodawa and the regions on the left bank of the Bug River.

In addition, flour was produced in a mill in Tamashowka, which was partly supplied with wheat received at the Włodawa railway station.

Strong communications, proximity to the administrative and economic center of Włodawa (5 km away) and tourist conditions that attracted summer visitors resulted in the rapid development of Tamashowka.

[11] In early September 1939, the bridges in Włodawa were bombed, causing many Poles and Jews to flee from the German army in the village.

Militants under the influence of the NKVD began to operate in the Tamashowka area, killing Polish officers and intellectuals.

[12] As a result, on September 17, German troops entered the village and later withdrew, leaving the Red Army in control.

There is also a railway station in Tamashowka, as well as an Orthodox parish deanery (благочиние) known as Brest-Region,[18] Brest eparchy, and the Kobrin Exarchate Belarusian Moscow Patriarchate at the Church of the Protection of the Mother of God (Pokrovska, Свято-Покровская церковь).

For several years there have been discussions at various levels about the construction of a bridge over the Bug River and the opening of a Polish-Belarusian border crossing at Włodawa-Tamashowka.
