History
Witkowo was first mentioned in a document in 1282. In it, the Pomeranian prince Mściwoj II, son of Świętopełk II Wielki, confirmed his father's foundation in favor of the Church of St. Stanislaus in Gardna.
Until 1830, Witkowo, Wierzchocino, and Siecie shared a school. It was located halfway between the three villages on the site of the former royal office of Ramow. The school in Witkowo burned down in a fire in 1881; a new school building was erected about 200 meters northwest of the site of the former school. After the Second World War, the settlement of Vietkow was renamed Witkowo.
The Protestant cemetery in Witkowo is no longer in use and dates from the mid-19th century. No gravestones have been preserved in the cemetery; about 30 percent of the tree cover remains. The cemetery is listed in the heritage register.
Settlement and agriculture
Around 1784, after the arrival of settlers, Witkowo had 15 farmsteads. In 1939, there were 46 farms in Witkowo: 17 with 0.5 to 5 ha, 10 with 5 to 10 ha, 12 with 10 to 20 ha, and 7 with 20 to 100 ha.
