1) The German name is Nakel. According to visits by Gniewosza in 1649 it was called Maklia and by Madaliński in 1686 it was called Nakła. It is a peasant village located in powiat Kartuzy. It’s post office is located in Wygoda. The village’s Catholic Parish and civil administration office is located in Parchowo, which is 1 mile from Nakło. The Evangelical Parish, Wielki Pomejsk, is in powiat Bytów. The local Catholic school is a distance of 6 1/4 miles from the county’s main city and 3 miles from Kościerzyna. There are 16 tenant farmers and 14 crofts (enclosed sections of farmland), with a total of 5050 morgs. In 1868, there were 424 inhabitants (356 Catholics, 43 Evangelical Protestant, 3 Jewish, and 21 dissidents) and 51 houses.
In 1253, the Bishop of Kujawski, Wolimir, confirmed that a church would be established in Parchowo through a tithe from the village of Nakło (ob. Perlbach: P. U. B., stronica 127). From 1381, during the time of the Teutonic Knights, Nakło belonged to the Mirachow wójtowstwa (county) but still followed the Polish law that established rent at 12 skojców* (ob. Zeitschs. des westpreuss. Gesch. Veveins 1882, str. 130, zeszyt VI). In the time of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Nakło belonged to the jurisdiction of the Mirachow starosta (district chief). In 1649, when visiting this area, Gniewosz noted 12 serfs and 2 sołtys (mayors). The Mesznego records indicate that the villagers contribute 1 bushel of rye and the same amount of oats, along with an asterisk that indicates an additional 1/2 grosz payment.
