Gdynia, as part of Eastern Pomerania, was part of the loose confederation of Slavic tribes that would later be called Poland from circa 990– 1308. After the Northern Crusades it became a state of the Teutonic Order (1308– 1454/66), but afterwards fell to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ( 1466– 1772). At the Partitions of Poland of 1772 it was annexed into the Kingdom of Prussia (1772– 1919), and as part of Prussia became part of the German Empire ( 1870–1919).
After World War One it was assigned as part of the Polish Corridor to Poland (1919– 1945), and was annexed by Nazi Germany at the start of World War Two in 1939. Gdynia returned to Poland in 1945. Its name during its centuries under German rule was Gdingen.
In 1870 Gdynia had some 1200 inhabitants, and it was not a poor fishing village as it is sometimes described in the literature. It was a popular tourist spot with several guest houses, restaurants, cafes, a couple of brick houses and a small harbour with a pier for small trading ships. The first Kashubian mayor of Gdynia was Jan Radtke . After the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, the town, with other parts of former Polish Pomerania (or Royal Prussia), was returned to Poland, partially to compensate for the loss of Poland's seaport Danzig (Gdansk) and surrounding area, which were declared the Free City of Danzig under the League of Nations, and were only partially under Poland's control.
