History
Miastkowo was mentioned in 1413 as the seat of the Miastkowski noble family.[2] A church and parish were founded in 1451 by Dukes from the Masovian line of the Polish Piast dynasty.[2] In 1827, the village had a population of 270.[2] There are graves of Polish troops killed in the Polish–Soviet War in 1920 at the local cemetery.[3]
During World War II, the settlement was occupied by the Soviet Union from 1939 to 1941, and by Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1944. The Germans operated a penal forced labour camp in the village.[4] Its prisoners were mostly inhabitants of Miastkowo and nearby villages.[5] During the Holocaust, local Pole Józef Dąbkowski managed to hide and rescue nine Jews from the Germans.[6]
