History

Polish–Teutonic peace talks, which ended the Thirteen Years' War, were held in the settlement at the turn of September and October 1466.[2]

During the German occupation (World War II), in November 1939, Polish teachers from Mała Nieszawka were murdered by the Germans in Barbarka (present-day district of Toruń) during a massacre of Polish teachers from the region carried out as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[3] Poles were also subjected to expulsions, carried out in November 1940.[4]
