history

It is not known exactly when today's Jeżewo was built. In the 15th century the name is passed down as Gesaw, the meaning of which comes from the Prussian "gese": heron is likely to go back, but is not linguistically sufficiently clear. In the 16th century it was mentioned that the village belongs to the von Gröbenow family. In 1785 there were 17 houses in the settlement, in 1817 there were only 10 with 122 people living in them.

On September 30, 1928, the Jeesau manor district was combined with the Bannaskeim manor district and the Heinrichshöfen in the Jeesau district to form the Bannaskeim rural community . In January 1945 the Red Army marched into the area and thus also into Jeesau. As a result, the village became part of Poland. In 1970, 138 residents were registered who had a library point. There was also a four-class elementary school in the village.

In 1973, after the dissolution of the Gromadas , the village became part of the Gromki Schulzenamt .
