History

Archaeological excavations indicate that the gmina of Nowy Duninów was inhabited in the Neolithic by early agriculturalists, as well as hunters and fishermen. The name of Duninów most likely comes from the Dunin family who ruled in the area in the 12th Century, most notably Piotr Włost Dunin.[1]

An early significant historical event was the creation at Duninów of a pontoon bridge across the Vistula for the troops of Władysław II Jagiełło in 1414. The troops were returning from the Hunger War, an expedition against the Teutonic Knights.[1]
