Location information:
Current administrative location: Wysocin, Gmina Bądkowo, Powiat Aleksandrów, Województwo Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Poland.

Wysocin,

A village, folwark (manor farm), and colony that are located near the Bachorzą valley and in powiat Nieszawa and gmina Bądkowo. It belongs to the Bądkowo Parish. Wysocin is a distance of 12 verst from Nieszawa and 6 verst from Brześć. It has 206 inhabitants. In 1827, there were 11 houses with 110 inhabitants.

In 1886, the Wysocin folwark’s land area was 620 morgs: 585 morgs of arable farm and garden land, 18 morgs of meadows, 152 morgs of forest, 2 morgs of pasture, and 14 morgs of barren land. There were 18 brick buildings, 2 wooden buildings, and crop rotation was distributed among nine and a half fields. The peasants lived on the separated Wysocin colony, which had 18 houses with 186 inhabitants.

In 1262, Konrad called the village “Vissocine” in documents and listed Wysocin as an ancient settlement mentioned in the number of possessions of the Sulejów monastery (Kod. dypl. pol., I, 48). This may be the same Wysocin that appeared in the act, by Duke Konrad, in 1488, that liberated the peasants (Kod. Maz., 300). In 1557, according to the regency tax collections for the village’s head, from Powiat Brześć, Wysocin belonged to the Bądkowo Parish and had 4 łan (fields) and 2 crofts. There was a butler (honorary village landlord), and a craftsman. Part of Wysocin was comprised of 4 łan (today this area is Wysocinek), 5 łan, and 2 crofts (Pawiński, Wielkop., II, 6).  Br. Ch.
