History

Wolental was a royal village of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), several Poles from Wolental were murdered by the Germans in the Zajączek forest nearby in 1939 (see Intelligenzaktion), and 55 Poles were expelled in 1943–1944, and their farms were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.
