Sztabin

Sztabin ([ˈʂtabʲin]; Lithuanian: Štabinas[1]) is a village in Augustów County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.

The village was founded by Adam Chreptowicz before 1598, at the river crossing, on the route from Augustów to Knyszyn.

After his death (1854) he gave his property to peasants in a perpetual lease, but the Russian authorities annulled his will.

During the January Uprising, a branch of colonel Konstanty Ramotowski "Wawr" operated in the area, whose camp at the Goat Market in the Augustów Forest was the site of one of the major battles in this region.

According to the 1921 Polish Census, Sztabin was inhabited by 500 people, among whom 437 were Roman Catholic, 1 Orthodox and 62 Mosaic.
