Osów is a municipal neighbourhood of the city of Szczecin, Poland[1] situated on the left bank of Oder river, north-west of the Szczecin Old Town and Downtown, in Zachód (West) District. As of January 2011 it had a population of 3,417.[2]
History
[edit]The area became part of the emerging Polish state under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967,[3][4] and following Poland's fragmentation it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania. In 1277, the settlement was purchased by the city of Szczecin.[5] During the Thirty Years' War, the settlement fell to the Swedish Empire. Later on, it passed to Prussia, and from 1871 to 1945 it was part of Germany, within which it was known as Wussow.
