history
Today's island was formerly part of the Gdansk Spit , in Gdansk mostly just referred to as the Spit . This narrow strip of dunes was extended to include the outer miter through land reclamation measures . When this low area, which was often flooded, was diked towards the Vistula , the name was changed to New Inner Spit in the 19th century . This happened in contrast to the old inland spit near Steegen , which received its dike earlier . The border dike to the external honoring ran approximately east of the current river Weichsel.

Until 1974 a line of the narrow-gauge former West Prussian small railway (Żuławska Kolej Dojazdowa) crossed the spit. The connection to the east across the Vistula to still existing rest rail network happened to 1956 via Trajektbetrieb on a steam ferry between Świbno (Schiewenhorst) and Mikoszewo (Nickelswalde) .
