Overview
The settlement lies approximately 5 km north‑east of the town of Sianów, 14 km north‑east of the city of Koszalin, and about 149 km north‑east of the regional capital Szczecin. It is part of the historic region of Pomerania. The village is governed at the local level by the gmina (municipality) authorities of Sianów and is represented in the broader county and voivodeship structures of Koszalin County and West Pomeranian Voivodeship, respectively.
Etymology/Origin
The name consists of two Polish elements:
- Sucha – meaning “dry,” a common toponymic adjective in Polish place names that often refers to a dry terrain, stream, or meadow.
- Koszalińska – the adjectival form of “Koszalin,” indicating a geographical or administrative connection to the nearby city of Koszalin or the surrounding Koszalin County.
Thus, “Sucha Koszalińska” can be interpreted as “the dry (place) of Koszalin.”
