Following the Potsdam Conference , the town , having been settled by German-speakers for centuries was voided of its native population in 1946/47 , to be resettled with Polish citizens new to the region . The town was renamed to obtain the proper Polish name of Górowo . Along with Poles , especially from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union , a remarkable number of people of Ukraine nationality were settled by force in the area of Gorowo through Operation Vistula in 1947 . Today a Ukrainian boarding school exists in Gorowo , and the former Lutheran church is used by the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church
