PolandGdańsk (Kashubian: Gduńsk), historically known in English as Danzig, is a city on the Baltic coast of northern Poland, and the capital of the Pomeranian Voivodeship. With a population of 486,492, it is Poland's sixth-largest city and its major seaport. Gdańsk lies at the mouth of the Motława River and is situated at the southern edge of Gdańsk Bay, close to the city of Gdynia and the resort town of Sopot; these form a metropolitan area called the Tricity (Trójmiasto), with a population of approximately 1.5 million. Gdańsk was first mentioned in 997 as part of the Duchy of Poland, and thereafter grew into a trading town under the Piast and Samboride dynasties.
