History

Before 1945 when Stettin was a part of Germany, the German name of this suburb was Stettin-Torney.[1] After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
