The Original Pudwill's came from Prussia and were some of the first German settlers to arrive in Alt Danzig in 1787 and became leaders of Alt Danzig colony from West Prussia. They came to Russia under the invitation of Empress Catherine the Great of Russia. In 1762 Catherine the Great made a proclamation and had promised to pay for travel and give ownership to fertile lands for anyone who would come to live and work in her southern Russian lands, plus she promised many advantages besides the land. The Pudwill's would also later help settle Neu Danzig which was a sister colony to Alt Danzig.
After the death of Catherine the Great in 1796, The Russian Empire began to change and revoke many of the promises made by Catherine the Great. In 1870 the United States proposed the Homestead Act and many of the former German's who had immigrated to Russia came to America.
