History

Historic manor house

The town was mentioned in the

Imperial Russia. During the January Uprising, on March 16, 1863, a skirmish between Polish insurgents and Russian soldiers took place there. The Polish insurgent unit was attacked by Russian troops and forced to escape towards Lądek.[5] As part of anti-Polish repressions after the fall of the uprising, Golina was deprived of its town rights in 1870, which it regained in 1921, after Poland regained independence.[4]

During the occupation of Poland (World War II) the Germans expelled most of its populace to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.[4] The Polish resistance was active in Golina, and a weapons depot used by Polish partisans was located in the nearby forest.[6] Walenty Orchowski, commander of the local unit of the Komenda Obrońców Polski organization, was arrested in 1941 and then tortured and murdered by the Gestapo in Inowrocław.[6]
