HISTORICAL MAP CHART SHOWING LOCAL TOPOGRAPHY

Gdan'sk ( German: Danzig (help·info); Kashubian: Gdun'sk; Latin: Gedania; older English Dantzig also other languages) is the sixth-largest city in Poland, and also its principal seaport and the capital of the Pomeranian Voivodship. The city lies on the southern coast of the Gdan'sk Bay (of the Baltic Sea), in a conurbation with the spa town of Sopot, the city of Gdynia and suburban communities, which together form a metropolitan area called the greater Gdan'sk or the Tricity (Trójmiasto) with a population of over a million people. Gdan'sk is the largest city in the historical province of Eastern Pomerania. North lies the Kashubian Tricity: Rumia, Reda, and Wejherowo. Gdan'sk is situated at the mouth of the Mot?awa river, connected to the Leniwka, a branch in the delta of the Vistula, whose waterway system connects 60% of the area of Poland, giving the city a unique advantage as the center of Poland's sea trade. Historically an important seaport since medieval times and subsequently a principal ship-building centre, Gdan'sk was a member of the Hanseatic League.
