History

The tower of Wisłoujście Fortress had been erected in 1482 and served as a light tower until 1758. The peninsula of Westerplatte became a seaside resort in 1830. In 1904 the Kaiserhafen (Kashubian Channel) was built. In 1921 Poland had been granted the right to install an ammunition depot on the Westerplatte in the Free City of Danzig. – On 1 September 1939 the battleship Schleswig-Holstein opened fire on the Polish garrison, which was the first battle of the European theater of World War II.

The Gdańsk prison Zakład Karny w Gdańsku-Przeróbce was established in 1970. Later, Malteurop and the Maritim shipyard became important investors.

Stogi-Przeróbka (Stogi z Przeróbką) had been an administrative district with a population of 18,614 until 2010.
