History


Human settlement dates back to ancient times. Ancient Roman coins from the time of Emperors Theodosius II, Valentinian III, Leo I and Libius Severus have been discovered in the village.[2] The oldest known location privilege of the village dates back to 1365.[2] In 1410, Polish King Władysław II Jagiełło granted the village to the New Town of Elbląg as a reward for its support against the Teutonic Knights in the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War.[3] During the Thirteen Years' War, in 1457, King Casimir IV Jagiellon granted the village to the Old Town of Elbląg, which led to a long dispute between the Old and New Towns over the village, however, it effectively remained under the administration of the Old Town.[3] According to account books from 1533, grapes were grown on the hill adjacent to the village.[3] No later than 1609, a paper mill was established in the village.[3]
