'']] Orloff (also known as Orlofferweihe; now known as Orłowo; coordinates: 54.20638, 19.0797 [54° 12′ 22″ N, 19° 4′ 46″ E]; population in 1905, 193; in 2012, 580) is located approximately 3 kilometres (2 miles) south-west of Nowy Dwór Gdański ([[Tiegenhof (Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland)|Tiegenhof]]), 19 km. (12 mi.) north of Malbork ([[Marienburg (Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland)|Marienburg]]), 20 km. (12.6 mi.) north-west of Elbląg ([[Elbing (Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland)|Elbing]]), and 35 km.

Orloff was established in 1349 by the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, Heinrich Dusemer von Arfberg, under the Chełmno law (Kulm Law, a legal constitution for a municipal form of government). At the time, the village had 48 włókas (862 hectares). Dutch settlers arrived in 1550 and the settlement of [[Orlofferfelde (Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland)|Orlofferfelde]] (Orłowskie Pole) was sectioned off from Orłowo, which retained 18 włókas (323 hectares) of land.

Until 1772 Orloff was part of the Kingdom of [[Poland|Poland]].

Orloff was situated in the district (Kreis) of Marienburg until the establishment of the [[Danzig, Free City of|Free City of Danzig]] in 1920. The village came under the control of Nazi Germany during World War II until February 1945, when it was occupied by Soviet forces and returned to Poland. In 2012 Orloff (now Orłowo) was a village in the administrative district of Gmina Nowy Dwór Gdański, within Nowy Dwór Gdański County, Pomeranian Voivodeship.

In 1727, the village had 12 Mennonites families. The 1776 Prussian census lists 13 Mennonite families with the following surnames: Dick, Fast, Hamann, Lepp, Neufeld, Penner, Quiring, Reimer, Rigehr, Schultz, Suckau, Thiessen, and Wieb. In 1820, the village had 145 residents, including 84 Mennonites.
