Archeological evidence indicates remnants of a [[neolithic]] settlement from four to five thousand years ago.
 
The area became part of the emerging Polish state under its first ruler [[Mieszko I of Poland]] in the 10th century, and during the fragmentation period in Poland it was part of a Pomeranian duchy, which separated from Poland in 1227. Starogrod (as Starigrod) was first mentioned in 1198 when [[Dukes of Pomerania|Duke]] [[Grzymisław II]] of [[Pomerania]] granted the settlement to the [[Knights Hospitaller]].{{citation needed|date=June 2013}} The Slavic name Stargarde was mentioned in 1269. In 1282, [[Mestwin II, Duke of Pomerania|Mestwin II]] and Polish Duke [[Przemysł II]] signed the [[Treaty of Kępno]], which transferred the suzerainty over [[Gdańsk Pomerania]] including Starogard to Przemysł II and reunited the region with Poland. Together with the rest of [[Pomerelia|Gdańsk Pomerania]] it came under the rule of the [[Teutonic Knights]] during the 1308 [[Teutonic takeover of Danzig (Gdańsk)|Teutonic takeover of Gdańsk]]. In 1348 the town received city rights under [[Kulm Law]] by Grandmaster [[Heinrich Dusemer]].
 
Since 31 March 1440 Starogard was a member of the [[Prussian Confederation]].<ref>Paweł Czaplewski ''Senatorowie świeccy, podskarbiowie i starostowie Prus Królewskich, 1454-1772'', Tomy 26-28 z Roczniki Towarzystwa Naukowego w Toruniu, 1921, p. 178 [https://books.google.com/books?id=b85ZAAAAIAAJ&q=Toeppen%2C+St.-T.+II%2C176 Google Books]</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Górski|first=Karol|title=Związek Pruski i poddanie się Prus Polsce: zbiór tekstów źródłowych|year=1949|publisher=Instytut Zachodni|location=[[Poznań]]|language=pl|page=XXXVII}}</ref> It took an active part in the 1454 uprising against the [[Teutonic Order]] that led to the [[Thirteen Years' War (1454–66)]]. In 1454, Polish King [[Casimir IV Jagiellon]] re-incorporated the region to the [[Crown of the Kingdom of Poland|Kingdom of Poland]] upon the request of the Confederation, and the city recognized the King as the rightful ruler. In 1461 the Teutonic Knights took over Starogard, which was then eventually recaptured by Poland in July 1466. In the [[Second Peace of Thorn (1466)|peace treaty]] signed in [[Toruń]] a few months later in 1466, the Teutonic Knights renounced any claims to the city, and recognized it as part of Poland.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Górski|first=Karol|title=Związek Pruski i poddanie się Prus Polsce: zbiór tekstów źródłowych|year=1949|publisher=Instytut Zachodni|location=[[Poznań]]|language=pl|pages=89, 207}}</ref> It became part of the [[Pomeranian Voivodeship (1466–1772)|Pomeranian Voivodeship]] in the province of [[Royal Prussia]] in the larger [[Greater Poland Province, Crown of the Kingdom of Poland|Greater Poland Province]]. It remained under Polish rule until the [[First Partition of Poland]] in 1772, when it became part of the [[Kingdom of Prussia]] under the name ''Preußisch Stargard''. The city was subjected to [[Germanisation of Poles during the Partitions|Germanisation]] policies. One of the main escape routes for insurgents of the unsuccessful Polish [[November Uprising]] from partitioned Poland to the [[Great Emigration]] led through the city.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Umiński|first=Janusz|year=1998|title=Losy internowanych na Pomorzu żołnierzy powstania listopadowego|magazine=Jantarowe Szlaki|volume=4 |language=pl|issue=250|page=16}}</ref>
