How did Osów come into being?
Osów was established in 1765 as part of the drainage of the Noteć marshes and the settlement of the area.

The drainage and settlement also place this reference in a regional context. Osów can thus be discovered as a place with a clearly stated date of origin and a connection to the history of the Noteć region.
