History

Medieval Lubawska Gate (Brama Lubawska)

Early history involved settlement by early Slavic peoples; later settlement was by

Vogt of the Teutonic Order.[citation needed] It adopted Kulm law
in 1353.

During the

Second Peace of Thorn (1466) the Teutonic Order renounced any claims to the area, and the reincorporation of the town into the Kingdom of Poland was confirmed. Administratively, it was part of the Chełmno Voivodeship in the province of Royal Prussia (which after 1569 was itself part of the province of Greater Poland). During the Reformation, in 1581 the parish church, which is almost as old as the town itself, became evangelical.[citation needed] In the 18th century the town was still surrounded by a town wall and by a rampart, and the parish church was Catholic.[3] A Protestant church was built in 1824.[citation needed
]

In the

Progymnasium, a court, a steam mill with grain trading, and (as of 1885) 2,678 inhabitants. The monastery Maria-Lonk was nearby. Around 1908 the town also had a dairy, an electric power plant, three sawmills and brickwork.[6]

Following World War I, in 1918, Poland regained independence, and after the Treaty of Versailles became effective in January 1920, the town was reintegrated with Poland. Within the Second Polish Republic, Nowe Miasto Lubawskie was the capital of Nowe Miasto County (Polish: powiat nowomiejski) in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship.
