Gronowo Elbląskie [ɡrɔˈnɔvɔ ɛlˈblɔ̃skʲɛ] is a village in Elbląg County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Gronowo Elbląskie. [1] It lies approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) west of Elbląg and 86 km (53 mi) north-west of the regional capital Olsztyn.
Human settlement dates back to ancient times. Ancient Roman coins from the time of Emperors Theodosius II, Valentinian III, Leo I and Libius Severus have been discovered in the village. [2] The oldest known location privilege of the village dates back to 1365. [2] In 1410, Polish King Władysław II Jagiełło granted the village to the New Town of Elbląg as a reward for its support against the Teutonic Knights in the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War. [3] During the Thirteen Years' War, in 1457, King Casimir IV Jagiellon granted the village to the Old Town of Elbląg, which led to a long dispute between the Old and New Towns over the village, however, it effectively remained under the administration of the Old Town. [3] According to account books from 1533, grapes were grown on the hill adjacent to the village. [3] No later than 1609, a paper mill was established in the village. [3]
There is a train station in the village.
The local football team is Pomowiec Gronowo Elbląskie. It competes in the lower leagues.
