Sejwy ([ˈsɛi̯vɨ]; Lithuanian: Seivas[3]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Puńsk, within Sejny County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland, close to the border with Lithuania.[4]

## History

[edit]

The royal village of the Grodno economy was located at the end of the 18th century in the Grodno district of the Trakai Voivodeship.[5]

In 1827 it was recorded that the population of the village numbered at 56 and 3 homes and in 1889 it was numbered at 39 people and 10 homes.[6]

In the period of the Second Republic of Poland, Colonel Włodzimierz Wołkowicki became a military settler in the Sejwy.[7]

Until 1952 the village was the seat of the gmina Sejwy.
