History
The area became part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I by c. 967.[3] Following the fragmentation of Poland, at various times it formed part of the duchies of Pomerania and Słupsk. From the 18th century, it formed part of the Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1871 to 1945 it was also part of Germany. After Germany's defeat in World War II, it became again part of Poland.
