As found bronze grave goods show, the immediate vicinity of the village in Pomerania was already settled in prehistoric times. From 1308 to 1466 Mirochowo or Mirchau belonged to the Teutonic Order of Prussia and then when Prussia was divided into secessionist western Prussia, later also known as the autonomous Prussia Royal Share , which had voluntarily placed itself under the protection of the Polish crown. At that time, Mirchau was the seat of a starost in the Pomeranian Voivodeship formed in 1454 .

After the first partition of Poland in 1772, Pomerania came to the Kingdom of Prussia . From 1818 to 1920 Mirchau belonged to the Prussian district of Karthaus . Around the middle of the 19th century, Mirchau is described as a farming village with a manor and a grinding and cutting mill. In the village there was also a chief forester, a brickworks and a restaurant.

In the last quarter of the 19th century, the village of Mirchau and the Mirchau forest estate were administratively separated from each other.

After the end of the First World War , most of the Karthaus district, including Mirchau, had to be returned to Poland due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty in January 1920 for the purpose of establishing the Polish Corridor and came to the new Pomeranian Voivodeship . Mirchau still belonged to the Karthaus district, now called Powiat Kartuski , which had been reduced in size by assignments to the Danziger Höhe district.

As a result of the attack on Poland in 1939, the powiat Kartuski with the village of Mirchau came to the Reich territory as occupied Polish territory in violation of international law and was now assigned to the new administrative district of Danzig in the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia , which included German and German-occupied Danzig and Polish territory . Towards the end of the Second World War , Mirchau was occupied by the Red Army in January 1945 .

In the following period immigrated German were under German occupation full strength, as well as ancestral German-speaking Poland , provided they had not fled before, mostly from the district sold .
