Wysoka Góra [vɨˈsɔka ˈɡura], was a village in the administrative district of Gmina Krasnopol, within Sejny County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1] The location lies approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) west of Krasnopol, 17 km (11 mi) west of Sejny, and 113 km (70 mi) north of the regional capital Białystok.
The village was founded in 1789. By the end of the 19th century its population (primarily Russian Old Believers and Polish) exceeded 200 people. It ceased to exist after the World War II due to the deportation of its inhabitants to the USSR, according to the German–Soviet Border and Commercial Agreement signed between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany on January 10, 1941.
