==History==
As of 1467, the territory of Wersk was still forested,<ref name=sgk>{{cite book|author=|title=Słownik geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i innych krajów słowiańskich, Tom XIII|year=1893|language=pl|location=Warsaw|page=236}}</ref> but soon, by the 16th century, the village had developed. Wersk was a private village of [[szlachta|Polish nobility]], administratively located in the Nakło County in the [[Kalisz Voivodeship (1314–1793)|Kalisz Voivodeship]] in the [[Greater Poland Province, Crown of the Kingdom of Poland|Greater Poland Province]] of the Kingdom of Poland.<ref>{{cite book|author= |title=Atlas historyczny Polski.
