History

Jurata was established in the interwar period (1928) as a Polish sea side resort, popular especially among Varsovians. Its name comes from the Lithuanian Goddess Jūratė which in Polish is spelled as Jurata. During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), several Poles from Hel were enslaved as forced labour to serve new German colonists in Jurata.^[1]
