History
The settlement was established in 1570.[1] Initially owned by the Loitz family, it was later governed by the Wejher and Sobieski noble families,[1] including King of Poland John III Sobieski. Administratively it was part of the Malbork Voivodeship within the Polish Crown. As a result of the First Partition of Poland in 1772 it was annexed by Prussia,[1] in 1871 it became part of Germany. In 1920 it became part of the Free City of Danzig (Gdańsk).[1]
On September 1, 1939, the day Germany invaded Poland, causing World War II, the Germans murdered the local Polish customs inspector.[2] The town was then annexed by Nazi Germany. During the war, a subcamp of the Stutthof concentration camp was operated by the Germans in the town.[3] One of the places where the Germans used the forced labour of Stutthof prisoners was the train station, where there is now a memorial plaque. After the defeat of Nazi Germany in the war in 1945, the town again became part of Poland.
