The oldest known mention of Niemieczkowo comes from 1361, when it was owned by local nobleman Jarota Niemieczkowski of Przosna coat of arms.[2] Niemieczkowo was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Poznań County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown.[3] It was owned by the Niemieczkowski and Raczyński families.[2] There is a historic manor house of local nobility in the village.[2]
