Moryń is a large town. This communal town has gained an agricultural-holiday nature because of its location close to lakes, the river, forests and a large area of ​​farmland and many farms.

The town dates back to the early Middle Ages, when it was inhabited by the Slavic tribe of Prissani. It was a territory of the Duchy of Pomerania in the eleventh century. A hill fort, which was the highlight of the castellany in Cedynia, was founded in the next century probably on the site where now the ruins of the castle are. A settlement, which was the beginning of the town, was built near the fort. Its residents were engaged in agriculture and fishery. Moryń was mentioned for the first time in 1263 in the documents of Duke Barnim I. The town was on the territory of New March in the thirteenth century. The date of granting civic rights is unknown, but it is known that after 1306 Moryń was expanding rapidly, town walls and a hospital were built, the town joined to the town of New March. The town council was created in 1350, and the judiciary - in 1360. Also in 1360 the construction of the castle on the peninsula of Lake Murzycko was begun. The building became inhabited by knights. The castle was destroyed by Pomeranian knights in the fourteenth century, and has remained in ruins since then. The town belonged to the Teutonic Order for half a century from 1402. It survived the Hussite invasion in 1433. The Thirty Years' War and the fires that occurred in the seventeenth century led to the massive destruction and depopulation of the town. In the eighteenth century Moryń was in a better financial situation, a brewery and a pharmacy were operating, the citizens were engaged in fishing and selling of whitefish. Two railway lines were built near the town in the nineteenth century. As communication improved, tourists started to arrive.
