History
Polska Wieś was one of the few villages located in the Middle Ages under the so-called Polish law (at that time, a location based on Magdeburg law was much more popular).[7] The village probably existed before 1523 and was part of the Kłecko starosty, created as a result of the division of the Środa starosty. In the years 1580 - 1620 the village belonged to the Czarnkowski family. In 1771 the village paid a sheaf tithe to the parish priests of St. George in Gniezno, and its owner was Antoni Mirosławski.[8] From April 9, 1901 to the incorporation of Greater Poland into the Polish state (1919) and during the German occupation, the village was called Paulsdorf.[9][10]
