gm. Elbląg, pow. elbląski, woj. warmińsko - mazurskie

In the Teutonic Knight period, the area of the present-day villages of Adamowo, Kazimierzowo, Janowo, Władysławowo, and Helenowo was covered by marshes, which after digging the Kanał Jagielloński in 1495 were converted into meadows that belonged to Stare Miasto. The development of the meadows began in 1563 when 4 causeways were built; the areas adjacent to these causeways reflected the ownership structure of Stare Miasto in Elbląg. Four hundred thirty five plots were allocated, which corresponded to each tenement house in the town. In order to develop the area, the burghers invited Dutch settlers. The Mennonites who lived in the area belonged to the Ellerwald-Elbing community. In 1776, the following Mennonite surnames were recorded as residents of the Ellerwald villages: Barg, von Bergen, Block, Brand, Brandy, Dircksen, Dick, Sens, Essau, von Riesen, Guenther, Harm, Hiebert, Isaac, Jantzen, Kieler, Kroacker, Loewen, Martens, Neufeldt, Penner, Rempel, Sawatsky, Thiessen, Thimm, Toews, Weis, Wieb, Wiebe, Wiele, Wiens, and Wilmp. In 1921, the area was inhabited by 736 Mennonites. In 1820, Władysławowo had 168 residents of whom 70 were Mennonites. At the beginning of the 20th century, the village had 588 ha and 280 residents.
