History
In 1949 and 1950 in the local garrison there was a military hospital for Greeks and Macedonians wounded in the Greek Civil War.[4][5] In total, around 2,000 people were treated there.[5] Later on, in the 1950s, the hospital staff co-created the Military Medical Academy in Łódź.[4] In 1958 Dziwnów was granted urban-type settlement status and afterwards a port was built.[4] The development of the settlement in the following decades led to the granting of municipal rights in 2004.[4] From 1964 to 1986, the 1st Assault Battalion, which was considered one of the best trained units in the history of the Polish Army, was stationed in Dziwnów.[6]
In 2004, Dziwnów received town privileges[7]
