The newspaper was established in 1st of September 1951 under the name of "Gazeta Białostocka", and was used as the mouthpiece of the Voivodeship Central Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party. The first editor-in-chief was Stefan Pawlata. The newspaper had a competition with "Trybuna Ludu", which already had regular readers.[1]
