History

The settlement dates back to prehistoric times and there is a cemetery from the Iron Age in the village, now an archaeological site.[2]

The name of the village comes from the Old Polish male name Miłobąd. It was the site of an early medieval stronghold, which is also an archaeological site.[2] It became part of the emerging Polish state under Poland's first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century.

Within the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, Miłobądz was a private church village of the Diocese of Włocławek, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.[3]

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), several Poles from Miłobądz, including teachers, were among the victims of large massacres of Poles carried out by the Germans in the Szpęgawski Forest in 1939 as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[4]

Education

There is a primary school in Miłobądz.[2]
