History
The town was founded in 1644 by a Polish Protestant activist and
town rights from the Polish King Władysław IV Vasa, by virtue of a privilege issued in Kraków in July 1644.[2][3]
After the
Province of Posen-West Prussia, within which it remained until 1938, when it became part of the Province of Silesia and in 1941, Lower Silesia
.
In spring 1945, the town was captured by the Red Army and after the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, it was finally reunited with Poland. The largely abandoned town was repopulated with Poles from the nearby Leszno and Rawicz counties, those returning from forced labour from Germany, as well as those expelled from eastern Polish territories, annexed by the Soviet Union. The remaining German population was expelled by the local Polish administrative authorities.
