Kurpie Białe
Kurpie Białe is an ethnographic group of Polish people inhabiting the Puszcza Biała region in Mazovia. They are descendants of families settled in the area during the 18th century by the bishops of Płock, the landowners of the forest. These settlers were tasked with repopulating the Puszcza Biskupia area, which had experienced depopulation due to the Swedish wars, Cossacks, Cossack invasions, and epidemics. The migration of settlers occurred primarily between 1730 and 1790, with most originating from Puszcza Zielona, where they possessed valuable knowledge in forest management, including skills as Honey hunting, honey hunters, charcoal burners, potash burners, meadow caretakers, and hunters. Unlike the Serfdom in Poland, serfdom that had been prevalent in surrounding villages since medieval times, these settlers were granted leasehold rights.

Puszcza Biała
Puszcza Biała (, ''White Wilderness'') is the name given to the forest that extends in Poland from Pułtusk to Ostrów Mazowiecka. It is part of the Mazovian lowlands and consists of small trees, mostly pine. The White Wilderness (Puszcza Biała) is usually associated with the Green Wilderness (Puszcza Zielona), and together the two forests are often referred to as the Kurpie Forest ( Puszcza Kurpiowska) because the two forests were populated by inhabitants who, over the centuries of isolation, developed a unique culture of their own, called Kurpie.

The favourable geographical placement of the town on the Narew, along which goods were transported to the port of Gdańsk on the Baltic Sea, contributed to the town's importance. Pułtusk was also the site of notable events, such as the Napoleon's 1806 battle, and the world's largest meteorite shower to date in 1868, among others.
