At the end of the twelfth century, the separation of Mazovia Kujawy district, which led to the formation of stromal historic district, which also includes areas zawis'lan'skie (Chelmno land and Dobrzyn). Territorial cohesion as a tear-shaped region in 1228 marked the beginning of bringing the Teutonic Knights by Duke Konrad of Mazovia. The Teutonic Knights became independent on Chelmno allocated to them and started Christianization of Prussia, and the beginning of the fourteenth century - the conquest of the Polish lands, including Gdansk Pomerania (1308-1466), Kujawy and Dobrzyn (1331-1343).

During the reign of Wladyslaw Jagiello region was merged administratively into two provinces Kujawy, referring to the former district divisions. In 1466, under the Treaty ending the Thirteen Years' War, the land Pomerania Chelmno and returned within the borders of the Polish state.
