History

In 2010, the fast growing district of Chełm i Gdańsk Południe with a population of about 72,000 has been divided in the districts of (larger) Chełm and Ujeścisko-Łostowice, which got the final shape in 2014.[1] When Chełm reached a population of 51,000, the city council decided on August 30, 2018 for a second division in the smaller district of Chełm and the district Orunia Górna-Gdańsk Południe.[2]
