Skomlin

The territory became a part of the emerging Polish in the 10th century. In 1210 Skomlin was granted to Cistercian monks, and in 1245 it passed to the Cistercian nuns from Łubnice.^[2]

In 1827, it had a population of 867.^[2]

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were placed in a transit camp in Łódź, and then young Poles were deported to forced labour in Germany and German-occupied France, and others were deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.^[3] Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.^[4]
