history
The settlement originally called Zdzierz received city rights under Magdeburg law in 1392 and was renamed Borek in 1435. Since the 15th century the town has been a center of the cloth and linen trade. In 1653 King John II Casimir allowed a regular fair.
After the Third Partition of Poland , Borek fell temporarily to Prussia from 1793 to 1807 , but was then Polish again as part of the Duchy of Warsaw .
Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , Borek came back to Prussia until 1918 . In the middle of the 19th century the tzaddik Elijahu Guttmacher worked in the city .
