History

Old church before destruction during World War II

The oldest known mention of the village dates back to 1243.[2] It remained a small fishing village until the 19th century, when it began to transform into a holiday resort.[2] At the end of the 19th century, salt springs were discovered, and the first sanatorium was established.[2] In the 1930s, military barracks were built.[2] During World War II, in June 1944, Americans conducted air raids on the German garrison in the village.[2] The historic church was destroyed in the final stages of the war. At the end of World War II, Polish troops entered the village in May 1945.[2]

In 1949 and 1950 in the local garrison there was a military hospital for Greeks and Macedonians wounded in the Greek Civil War.[2][3] In total, around 2,000 people were treated there.[3] Later on, in the 1950s, the hospital staff co-created the Military Medical Academy in Łódź.[2] In 1958 Dziwnów was granted urban-type settlement status and afterwards a port was built.[2] The development of the settlement in the following decades led to the granting of municipal rights in 2004.[2] 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.[4]
