Stare Pole [ˈstarɛ ˈpɔlɛ] (German Altfelde) is a village in Malbork County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Stare Pole.[1] It lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) east of Malbork and 51 km (32 mi) south-east of the regional capital Gdańsk.
While traditionally Prussian, with the Second Peace of Thorn in 1466 the area became part of the Kingdom of Poland until 1772; 1772-1945 Kingdom of Prussia and Germany (East Prussia). After 1945, the native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from Polish Eastern territories, Kresy, annected by Soviet Union according to German-Russian agreement from 1939. Since Prussia and Pomerania are overlapping regions see also History of Pomerania.
The village has a population of 1,834.
