Giemlice was founded within medieval Poland. In 1292, Duke Mestwin II granted the village to the Cistercian monastery in Pelplin, and in 1301, the Cistercians handed it over to the Diocese of Włocławek.[2] In 1592, Bishop Hieronim Rozdrażewski granted the village to the Jesuits.[2] Giemlice was a private church village, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Polish Crown.[3] In the late 19th century, the population was predominantly Catholic by confession.[2]
