history

The earliest evidence of the presence of people in today's municipal area are finds from the Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age . These are traces of settlements and cemeteries.

Archaeological investigations have shown that there were two castles in the immediate vicinity of the Janica River in the early Middle Ages. Before 1426 the settlement was granted city rights and was then a fair and market location . In 1532 a city council and a mayor are mentioned for the first time. In the course of the Second Partition of Poland , Baranów fell to Prussia . It was in the province of South Prussia, which existed from 1793 to 1807 . In 1817 Baranow had two Catholic churches, 90 houses and 534 residents, including 22 craftsmen. Population growth has stagnated since around 1860 (see below). The municipality of Baranow decided, probably to avoid the costs for full-time city employees, with effect from April 1, 1908, to adopt the rural municipality order.

Until 1919 Baranow belonged to the Kempen district in Posen in the Prussian province of Posen of the German Empire . The district with Baranow had to be ceded to the Second Polish Republic in 1919 in fulfillment of the Versailles Treaty . In 1939 Baranow was occupied by the German Wehrmacht . After the end of World War II , German residents were expelled .
