As for many cities in Pomerania the history of Belgard / Białogard was ful of changes. (Kashubian/Pomeranian: Biôłogard) Today it is a town in Middle Pomerania, northwestern Poland with 24,399 inhabitants (2004). The name is a combination of two Slavic (Pomeranian/Kashubian) terms: biały for white and gard for city/town. The city was conquered by Boleslaus III of Poland in 1107. By the invitation of Bolesław III the Wrymouth and his vassal Wartisław I of Pomerania, Bishop Otto of Bamberg came with a mission to Pomerania in 1124. During the Thirty Years' War the town was plundered by the troops of the Holy Roman Empire and Sweden. After the death of the last Pomeranian Duke in 1637, and as a result of the Thirty Years' War, the Duchy of Pomerania was divided between Sweden and Brandenburg-Prussia. As Belgard, with all of Farther Pomerania, the town became part of Brandenburg in 1653 and became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701. In 1724 Belgard was made the capital of a county in the Province of Pomerania, and after the administrative reorganization in 1815, the capital of Landkreis Belgard (Belgard county). Belgard became part of the German Empire in 1871.
During World War II, the Red Army occupied the town on March 4, 1945. According to the terms of the Potsdam Conference, after the end of the war the town once again became part of Poland.

Die Lubinsche Karte (auch Große Lubinsche Karte genannt) ist ein Kartenwerk, das der Rostocker Gelehrte Eilhard Lubinus im Auftrag des Herzogs Philipp II. von Pommern zwischen 1610 und 1618 erarbeitete. Es war die erste vollständige Karte des Herzogtums Pommern. Die Lubinsche Karte bildete bis ins 18. Jahrhundert die Grundlage der gedruckten pommerschen Landkarten. Bis heute hat sie große künstlerische und historische Bedeutung.
