history
Administrative history
Interrupted by the German occupation during the Second World War from 1919 to 1975, today's municipal area belonged to the Kielce Voivodeship with different layouts. In 1939 the powiat Konecki came to the Łódź Voivodeship . The area remained with Kielce and came from this until 1954 to the powiat Radomski. That year the rural community of Szydłowiec was repeatedly divided into different gromadas . The main town became the seat of the powiat of the same name in the same year.
The rural community was newly created on January 1, 1973. From 1975 to 1998, today's municipality was part of the considerably reduced Kielce Voivodeship. The powiat was dissolved during this time. City and rural municipality Szydłowiec were merged in 1990/1991 to form an urban and rural municipality. This came to the Masovian Voivodeship in 1999 and became the district seat of the renewed Powiat.
Regional history
After the invasion of Poland in 1939, the municipality was the scene of battles between the Polish army and German armored troops. 130 Polish soldiers who died in the forest on September 8th and 9th were buried in the town's cemetery. Every September 8th, citizens commemorate their defenders from 1939. In Szydłowiec, a ghetto was established in 1941 for the large Jewish community. After its dissolution, the residents of the Majdanek extermination camp were murdered.
After the war, new schools were set up, including two general high schools and vocational schools. In addition to the traditional construction and leather industries, the electronics industry developed. As a district town, the main town serves as a communication, trade and administrative center for the surrounding communities.
