Sources for identification of villages included in the Dutch colonization

The essential publication treating the subject of Dutch colonization in Ziemia Łęczycka is J. Goldberg's article from 1957[1] . However, the description of the colonization in this article is incomplete: the author focused exclusively on the initial period of colonization, until the 2nd partition of Poland, and described only selected aspects. Undoubtedly, such an approach to the subject can be explained by an absence of sources that would provide sufficient information for a complete description of the colonization.

Therefore, my intention was to identify as many villages as possible that were established under the Dutch law. I used the following sources (listed chronologically):

1. Map of Karol de Perthéesa from the last two decades of the 18th century; scale: 1: 225 000 (1784 - Map of the Płocki province, including Ziemia Dobrzyńska; 1792 - Map of the Rawski province; 1794 - Map of the Warsaw area, five-mile diameter),
2. Map of Dawid Gilly and Crona (Krohna) published in 1802/03, scale: 1: 150 000, prepared between 1793-1796, containing areas included in the 2nd and 3rd partition of Poland.
3. Table of towns and villages from 1827.
4. Topograficzna Karta Królestwa Polskiego (Topographic Map of the Kingdom of Poland) from ca. 1830, scale: 1: 126 000, also called Mapa Kwatermistrzostwa.
5. Map of Wojciech Chrzanowski - Map of former Poland, including bordering areas of neighbouring countries, scale: 1: 300 000, from 1859,
6. Słownik geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i innych krajów słowiańskich (Geographic Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland and Other Slavic Countries) published between 1880 and 1900.
7. Atlas of the Republic of Poland, published in 1902, scale 1: 300 000,
8. Index of towns and villages of the Republic of Poland, published in 1925,
9. WIG maps, scale 1:100 000 from 1930-38.
10. Mapa Sztabu Generalnego (Map of the General Staff), scale - 1:100 000, from 1951.
11. List of Polish towns and villages from 1968 (developed between 1964-65),
12. List of Polish towns and villages from 1980-82 (developed in 1978),
13. List of Polish towns and villages, Wall Maps, Beata Piętka, Warsaw 2000.
