The village and the municipality


From an administrative point of view, Lisewo is a community.


After World War II in February 1945, the voivodship of Pomorskie was restored. Its seat was first of all situated in Toruń and then in April moved to Bydgoszcz. At the same time the district of Chełmno was segregated into new divisions and communities.


This state was kept until 1954, when further districts were divided into smaller units. Krusin and Lisewo both were counted to these small units. The next territorial-administrative reform of the voivodship of Bydgoszcz occurred in 1973. Communities were reintroduced and rural units deleted. Lisewo regained its status of a community. In 1975, the Toruń Voivodeship was founded, and Lisewo was one of the 49 municipalities belonging to it.


The village itself occurs in the oldest known documents under the name of Lissow in 1293, Lissaw/Lysaw in 1408 and Leysaw, Leissan, Lysow, Lissowo in 1530.

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time.
