History

Memorial at the site of a German execution of 24 Poles in November 1939

In 1921 the first Polish folk high school was established in Dalki.[2]

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), on 7 November 1939, the occupiers carried out a massacre of 24 Poles, whom they previously imprisoned in Gniezno, including 10 defenders of the nearby town of Kłecko (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[3] There is a memorial at the site.
