gm. Nowe nad Wisł±, pow. ¶wiecki, woj. kujawsko-pomorskie

The earliest mention of the village dates from 1374, when the contract for Nowe M±tawy was issued (probably a Stare M±tawy village existed). By virtue of the privilege Ulrich v. Hachenberg, Komtur of Pokrzywin gave to Nowe M±tawy 46 włókas under the Chełmno right, 4 of which belonged to the village head (soltys), and peasants were allowed to fish in the Vistula for their own needs. In 1415 there were 2 inns in the village.
In the second half of the 16th century it was described as an agricultural village, a royal property in the Nowe poviat. In 1568 it was transferred to Zaj±czkowskie pastures, having 52 włókas on which 18 Dutch were settled. (...This year the village will be of not so good use because the Vistula waters took it and still have not sunk...) In 1624 the village is inhabited by 24 Dutch, paying rent, one brewer having authorisation for brewing beer from his grain and making booze.
In the Prussian partition the village was in the ¦wiecie poviat of the Kwidzyń District. It belonged to the Wielki Lubień Catholic parish and to the Nowe nad Wisł± Evangelic parish. From the 16th century in the village was a Mennonite house of prayers, replaced in the years 1896-1898 by a brick church. In the third quarter of the 19th century in village there were 97 buildings, 50 houses, 466 inhabitants (255 Evangelists, 29 Catholics) and an Evangelic school.
