Before 1859 the place was only referred to as a Segenthin colony , although when it was founded the place Marienthal was named after the wife of the founder.

history

Today's Święcianowo was founded from Segenthin in the last quarter of the 18th century. In 1772, the then owner of Segenthin, Carl Caspar von Kleist (1734–1808), received royal pardons with which he reclaimed lands and created two farms and eight Büdner jobs. After 1834, the place experienced a lively boom under the rule of Gustav Heinrich von Blumenthal .

In 1818 229 people lived here, their number rose to 450 by 1885 and was still 338 in 1939. Dairy farming was the main occupation due to the meadows.
