Żelichowo [ʐɛliˈxɔvɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Nowy Dwór Gdański, within Nowy Dwór Gdański County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) north-east of Nowy Dwór Gdański and 36 km (22 mi) south-east of the regional capital Gdańsk.
Before 1772 the area was part of Kingdom of Poland, in 1772-1919 of Prussia and Germany, in 1920-1939 of Free City of Danzig, and in September 1939 - February 1945 of German Reich. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.
The village was founded in 1328. In 1768 a Catholic chapel was built (also used by Mennonites), which burned down in 1778 and has not been rebuilt. In 1776, there were 63 names of Mennonites. In 1820, 366 people lived in Petershagen and Pendelmuehle, including 208 Mennonites. The petition from 1868 signed Mennonite Jacob Wiens from this village. The area of the village was at the time 87 voloks (1 volok = 17.9550 ha) and 4 morgens (1 Kulmer Morgen = 0.560117 ha), 60 houses stood there, and among 472 residents, 143 were Mennonites.[10]
