[edit] Copyright violation
Some of the Inter-war history section was taken directly from [1]. Olessi 18:12, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
- Apart from possible copyright violations, the inter-war section of the history is POV and badly expressed, and needs rewriting.

[edit] Foundation of City of Graudenz (Grudenc) in Prussia
The western Prussian city Grudenc aquired city rights in 1292, and joined the Prussian Confederation in 1440. Between 1466 and 1772 the city was part of the province of Royal Prussia. With the First Partition of Poland in 1772 the city became part of the Kingdom of Prussia, and, in 1871, part of the German Empire. After the construction of a railroad bridge across the Vistula in 1878, Graudenz (now Grudziądz) became an industrialized city which grew rapidly and became a city district in 1900. In the 1912 Reichstag elections, 21% of the votes were given to Polish candidates, while the National Liberal Party of Germany received 53% of all votes.
