History

In the 1860s, the Krasiniec sugar factory was founded by Count Ludwik Józef Krasiński , one of the wealthiest Poles of the 19th-century, next to which a settlement of the same name soon developed.[3] During World War I, the sugar factory was plundered by the Russians.[4]
According to the 1921 Polish census, the village had a population of 364, 72.3% Polish, 27.5% Kalmyk, and 0.3% Lithuanian.[5] It was the sole Kalmyk community of interwar Poland, with the only other Kalmyk person living in the nearby town of Przasnysz.[6]
