Grąsino [ɡrɔ̃ˈɕinɔ] (German Granzin) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Słupsk, within Słupsk County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) north-east of Słupsk (Stolp) and 98 km (61 mi) west of the regional capital Gdańsk (Danzig).
Before 1945 the area of Farther Pomerania, where the village is located, was part of Germany.[2][3] In historical records of 1302, 1341 and 1493 the village is called Gransyn, Grantzin and Grentzin, respectively. On March 8th, 1945, the region was occupied by the Red Army, and after the end of World War II it was put under Polish administration. In October 1945 the houses and farms of the village were taken over by Poles. Some farm workers and their families were forced to stay in the village and to work for the Poles for several years. For the children of these families in 1952 a German school was made available which operated for about fife years. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.
The village has a population of 522.
