Jedwabno [jɛdˈvabnɔ] is a village in Szczytno County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It is the seat of the administrative district of Gmina Jedwabno.[1] It lies approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) west of Szczytno and 32 km (20 mi) south-east of the regional capital Olsztyn. It is located in the region of Masuria.

History

In 1436, in records of the commander of Ostróda, a first time mention of the settlement of Gedwangen in the Prussian territory of Sassen is noted.[citation needed] The name Gedwangen includes the Prussian language words "gedian" thicket and "wangus" (cleared oak forest).[citation needed] A church was built at that time and the inhabitants are recorded to have lived mainly from forest beekeeping.[citation needed] Later Protestant settlers from other parts of Poland to Masuria introduced the name Jedwabno.[citation needed]

In the late 19th century, the village had a population of 700, solely Polish Protestants.[2] It hosted two annual fairs in the late 19th century.[2]
