History
The oldest known mention of the village comes from 1337, when it was part of the Piast-ruled Kingdom of Poland. Tur was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Kcynia County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940, the Germans expelled several Polish families from the village.[3] Poles were mostly deported to the Kraków District of the General Government (German-occupied central Poland), while their houses and farms were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[3]
