History
[edit]The area became part of the emerging Polish state under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967,[3][4] and following Poland's fragmentation it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania. During the Thirty Years' War, the settlement fell to the Swedish Empire. Later on, it passed to Prussia, and from 1871 to 1945 it was part of Germany, within which it was known as Torney.[1]
Aleksander Wolszczan attended high school in Turzyn (VI Liceum Ogólnokształcące).[5]
