Szóstka,

1) In 1103 (it was called in Latin) villa Czestkonis. A village located in powiat Nieszawa, gmina Piotrkowo, and belongs to the Broniewo Parish. In 1827, there were 35 homes with 211 inhabitants. In about 1103, a forged document of Mieszko, confirming the Radziejów monastery charter in Mogilino, lists the number of possessions bordering this village “comprising the villa Czestkonis” (Kod. Wielk., I, Nr. 33). Leszek, Premysław, and Kazimierz, Princes of Kujawy, gave “Obezano Clavigero de Sostuca” a mayor in the village of Skotnik.
