Geography

History

It was granted town rights in 1400.[2] The town was founded by a noble family of Rawicz coat of arms, which then took the name Nowomiejski after the town.[3] It was a private town of various noble families, including the Nowomiejski, Zebrzydowski, Lipski, Sapieha, Granowski, Świdziński and Małachowski families,[3] administratively located in the Biała County in the Rawa Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[4] Kazimierz Granowski founded a Baroque Capuchin church and monastery in the town, whereas the Małachowski family founded the park[3] Four annual fairs were established in 1744, and five more were established in 1789.[3] In 1874, dr Bieliński established a hydrotherapy facility outside the town, which attracted many patients in the summer.[3]

Following the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was occupied by Nazi Germany until 1945. Two local Poles were murdered by the Russians in the Katyn massacre in 1940.[5][6][7]
