Nowy Staw [ˈnɔvɨ ˈstaf] (German: Neuteich; Kashubian: Nowi Stôw, Nytëch) is a small town in northern Poland on the Święta river in the Żuławy region, with 3 766 inhabitants (2022), situated in Malbork County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. The name of the town means New Pond. The oldest part of Nowy Staw is the formerly independent village of Stawiec, north of the town. It was founded in 1316 by the Teutonic Order. Town rights were applied in 1343. In 1409, the Teutonic Knights started producing black gunpowder in the town, and a few decades later in the middle of the fifteenth century merchants from nearby Danzig (Gdańsk) erected an oil mill. In 1454, King Casimir IV Jagiellon incorporated it to the Kingdom of Poland, which was confirmed in the peace treaty of 1466. From 1466 on it was part of the Polish Malbork Voivodeship. During the various Polish–Swedish wars the town was occupied and plundered several times. During the eighteenth century a new district, the "New town" grew up between the existing settlement and the Tuja river. Since that time urban development has taken place in a southerly direction along the right bank of the river. More information...
