Years: 1580 - 1580
Elblag has become the chief East Prussian port for trade with England by 1580.
Lying along the Elblag River near the Nogat River, which is the eastern mouth of the Vistula River, Elblag had been founded in 1237 by the Teutonic Knights; the castle and settlement were granted town rights in 1246 and joined the Hanseatic League in the late thirteenth century.
