Where the name "Huta" came from, how the manor farm changed hands, and what the censuses of the last two hundred years tell us.
Huta Głodowska is one of the thirty-six villages of the Lipno commune in the Dobrzyń Land. The name "Huta" (ironworks) reaches back to the 17th century, when German settlers set up places for smelting metal and glass among the forests — the forest gave fuel, the sandy ground quartz, and the ore was taken from bog iron.
In 1827 the village had 8 houses and 83 inhabitants, and the manor farm covered 675 morgens. The author traced the estate's fortunes through the land registers: from the Pląskowski estate and Głodowo, through the Peasant Commission of 1870 and its servitudes, to the separation of the Huta farm in 1875. In 1933–1937 the village had 241 inhabitants, almost half of them Germans. The chapter closes with the commission's report of 9 July 1945 listing the war losses — including those of Waleria Kępińska's farm — and the post-war allocation of abandoned farms to repatriates.
