Drążdżewo Nowe
Drążdżewo Nowe is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Jednorożec, within Przasnysz County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland. It lies approximately east of Jednorożec, north-east of Przasnysz, and north of Warsaw.History
Drążdżewo Nowe was a privately owned settlement already existing in 1386. However, the site already had previously contained a number of small villages, but only Drążdżewo Nowe now survives.
The word drążdżewo is derived from the word drzążdż, meaning brushwood. The settlement, at times, has also been known as Draszewo and, later, also as Drasdzew, Drzanzewo, and Drzązewo.
A post-World War I census, taken in 1921, recorded 25 homes and 145 inhabitants living in the village.
The village is incorporated under the municipality of Gmina Jednorożec, which was established in 1867.
