History

Gniszewo was a royal village of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. It was annexed by Prussia in the First Partition of Poland in 1772, and restored to Poland, after Poland regained independence in 1918.
During the German occupation of Poland, the Germans expelled several Poles, whose farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.
