Łagiewniki[a] is a village in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, located within the gmina (municipality) Gmina Włocławek, in the Włocławek County.
[3] In the Second World War, during the invasion of Poland, the Polish 43rd Observation Escadrille was stationed in the village.
[4] A part of Łagiewniki was formerly known locally as Nowy Jork (Polish for New York), from a nickname given by the parish priest in the 1950s, perhaps due to its distance from the village centre or its perceived prosperity.
The delisting of Nowy Jork attracted nationwide television and press coverage.
