Until the mid 17th century, the Neustädterwald area was a part of the Elbląg (Elbing) estate. Originally, it was a forested area, which was systematically cleared since the beginning of the 18th century. Neustädterwald was established in 1703. Until 1772 Neustädterwald was part of the Kingdom of Poland.
