    The village of Plocično was founded in the 17th century as a settlement of tar smiths. During the First World War, the Germans built a huge sawmill here with a network of narrow-gauge forest railways for transporting timber. After the end of the First World War, the site was bought by the Provisional Citizens' Council of the Suwałki Region. At that time a workers' settlement was founded, which today bears the name of Płociczno-Tartak. The sawmill was destroyed during World War II, but rebuilt - it became the largest timber factory in the country. Today it is privatized and operates under the name "Paged"-Tartaki Wschód sp.z o.o. The narrow-gauge railway was in operation until 1986. Today, most of the line is closed, except for the renovated 9 km section from Płociczno to Krusznik-Green Inn. In 1941 the Germans carried out archaeological research in the Płociczno area. Interesting artefacts have been found in a Roman-era cemetery (near the WWI cemetery).

        It's good that there are still a few such queues preserved.
