Wierzchowo was a royal village of the
Polish Crown, administratively located in the Człuchów County in the
Pomeranian Voivodeship. With the
First Partition of Poland in 1772, the village, as
Firchau became part of the
Schlochau district in the
Prussian province of
West Prussia. In 1871, it became part of
Germany, where it remained until 1945. From 1922 to 1938, it was part of the
Province of Posen-West Prussia and from 1938 to 1945, it was part of the
Province of Pomerania. From 1920 to 1939, Firchau was located on the border between
Germany and
Poland and had a
railway station of the
Prussian Eastern Railway, which was the last station in Germany before the Polish border. The next station,
Moszczenica Pomorska (Mosnitz) was on the Polish side. Since 1945, the village has belonged to Poland. ==References==
