Before 1772 the area was part of Kingdom of Poland, 1772-1945 Prussia and Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.For more on its history, see History of Pomerania.
