history

Meesow was an old fiefdom of the noble Dewitz family . Among the owners were General Joachim Balthasar von Dewitz († 1699) and the Vice President of the Pomeranian government Carl Joseph von Dewitz († 1753).

Around 1860 the manor Meesow, i.e. the manor district , comprised 3,247 acres of land and had 238 inhabitants. 33 horses, 95 cattle and 1928 sheep were kept. In addition, there was the parish village of Meesow, the rural rural community , with 3167 acres of land and 306 inhabitants. 61 horses, 182 cattle and 1001 sheep were kept here. The church was a daughter church ( "Filia") of the church in Roggow A . The Meesow estate was later incorporated into the Meesow rural community.

In 1896, Meesow became a train station on the Labes – Meesow – Sallmow small railway operated by the Regenwald Bahnen . In Meesow, a seven-kilometer stretch branched off to Daber . The routes are closed today.

Until 1945 Meesow formed a rural community in the Regenwalde district of the Pomerania province . The community had 527 inhabitants in 1933 and 465 inhabitants in 1939. In addition to Meesow, the community also included the Vorwerk Meesow and Meesow brickworks .

In 1945 Meesow came to Poland, like all of Western Pomerania. The place name was Polonized as "Mieszewo".
