Pomerania is a region on the south coast of the Baltic between Szczecin (Stettin) and Gdansk (Danzig). The area is culturally and environmentally influenced by the Germans, Poles and Kashubians.
Pomerania in all languages is an adaptation of Old Slavic "po", meaning "by/next to/along", and "more", meaning "sea", thus "Pomerania" is literally "seacoast", referring to its proximity to the Baltic Sea.
Pomerania was strongly affected by the 20th century border and population changes.
The reason to visit this region has to do with the migration from Pomerania to Australia in the middle of the 19th century of some ancestors.
Nowadays it is a popular holiday resort for the Poles.
