Goleniow, then Gollnow, was founded twice: First, Barnim I, Duke of Pomerania granted the settlement Magdeburg Law and additional privileges in 1264, yet the town was rechartered with Lubeck Law, which favoured the local merchants, in 1314. The town grew by exploiting the vast timber reserves in the town-owned forests, and by trade. [wikipedia].
