gm. Puszcza Mariańska, pow. skierniewicki, woj. mazowieckie

Szczawinek was settled by the Dutch in 1645. This information is supported by archival materials and literature. The colonists settled in the village under the contract (ratified by the king Władysław IV in the Royal Register with the date June 9, 1645) concluded between Hieronim Radziejowski and the Dutch. They were granted a permission to settle in the following villages: Baranów, Jaktorów, Kaski i Szczawinek. The contract provided for a 6-year rent-free period, 100 włók of wastelands and forests to be put under cultivation; they were required to pay a rent of 30 florins per włóka. The village has not survived. Most probably, it was originally located on the edge of the Korabiewski forest by the Sucha (Nida) river, on its north-eastern bank.
