History

As part of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland it was a private church village of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Włocławek, administratively located in the Gdańsk County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.[3]

In 2010, the fast growing district of Chełm i Gdańsk Południe with a population of about 72,000 has been divided in the districts of Chełm and Ujeścisko-Łostowice. When Chełm reached a population of 51,000, the city council decided on August 30, 2018 for a second division in the smaller district of Chełm and the district Orunia Górna-Gdańsk Południe. The new district was created on March 24, 2019.[4][5]

In World War II, a subdivision of Stalag XXB or Stalag 20B Marienburg Danzig was established in the area nearby. Stalags had been German POW camps.
