History

VII Dwór was part of Oliwa and owned by the Oliwa Abbey for much of its history. Dwór VII, the manor which it is named after, was first mentioned in 1632 and was owned by various noble families. A sanatorium was opened in VII Dwór in 1931, which remains operational to this day.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> A subcamp of the Stalag XX-B prisoner-of-war camp operated there during World War II.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

In the 1950s, the area began being developed, mostly with single-family homes, mostly for workers of the Gdańsk University of Technology. A large apartment block housing estate, known as the Osiedle Młodych, was completed in 1963.<ref>Template:Cite encyclopedia</ref>
