This territory was carved out from lands that made up part of the Kingdom of Prussia, consisting of the city of Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland) along with its rural possessions on the mouth of Vistula, together with the Hel Peninsula and the southern half of the Vistula Spit. From late January to November 29, 1813, Russian forces laid siege to the city and the French occupying forces withdrew on January 2, 1814.
