1709 CE

The plague arrives in the small Swedish Pomeranian town of (Alt-)Damm (now Dąbie) on the eastern bank of the Oder river in August 1709, rapidly killing five hundred inhabitants.

Stettin (now Szczecin), the capital city of Swedish Pomerania located on the opposite bank of the river, reacts by isolating the town with a guarded cordon sanitaire.
