Around 1325 a church was built on a hill, where the place was first mentioned in 1390. The market law was Barcin 1472. 1541 the place from the right to the left bank of the river was nets laid on June 12 of the year the town was granted the town charter by German law .
As part of the first partition of Poland in 1772, the city came to Prussia . During the Polish uprising under Tadeusz Kościuszko , there was a skirmish between Prussian troops and Polish rebels led by General Lipski near Barcin on September 28, 1794 . During the French period , the place was temporarily Polish from 1807 to 1815 and belonged to the Duchy of Warsaw .
In 1815 Barcin was incorporated into the Prussian province of the Grand Duchy of Posen . The city's affiliation with Prussia was confirmed at the Congress of Vienna . The city belonged to the Schubin district in the administrative district of Bromberg and was the seat of the district commissioner for the police district of the same name . In 1852 cholera raged in the village. In 1880 it was mentioned for the first time that the place had a post office. Twelve years later, Barcin was connected to the rail network and now had a train connection with Żnin and Inowrocław , and in 1912 the Barcin-Mogilno line was opened.
After the First World War , Bartschin had to be handed over to the Second Polish Republic due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty .
During the German invasion of Poland , the Wehrmacht reached the place on September 7, 1939, and 13 days later the first executions took place in front of today's elementary school. From 1939 to 1945 Barcin belonged, contrary to international law, to the German district of Schubin , which was last known as Altburgund . Barcin was first Germanized in Bartelstein ad Netze . Since this name was constantly confused with Bartenstein in East Prussia , the city was renamed Bartelstädt from 1943 .
