Before 1648 the area was part of the Duchy of Pomerania; then from 1648 to 1945, Prussia, the Weimar Republic, and Nazi Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
