Summary/Abstract: The article presents settlement relations in an entailed estate near Uniejów in the 19th and thebeginning of the 20th century. Geo-historical analysis covers the issue of settlement origins andtransformations, including the morphology of the countryside. It attempts a reconstruction of thecircumstances of the origin of donation on the basis of a ukase (an edict of the tsar) of 1836, andpresents, from the spatial perspective, the development of selected social and economic aspects ofthe functioning of the entailed estate in question. Special attention is devoted to changes in ruralsettlement resulting from two massive agrarian reforms which caused the transformation of ruralsettlement systems.
