It is West Prussia

The province of West Prussia was just west of the province of East Prussia. And if you look at the map of Poland you see that Sopot was part of West Prussia:

West Prussia in the Kingdom of Prussia:

But Germany lost most parts of West Prussia to Poland after World War 1, including Sopot. So it doesn't really matter, does it?
