The official German name Langgasse appeared in 1331, the Polish version of Dlugi Targ was introduced only in 1552. Before the partition of Poland Street also called the Royal Route, because there was held a solemn way to the city during a visit to Gdansk, the Polish monarchs. During the visits of monarchs here feast, fireworks and festivities. On the street lived the rich nobles, merchants and citizens who held important city posts.
