The first written mention of the city comes from the year 1234. The elevation to the city took place in 1419 by Duke Janusz I. Starszy according to Kulm law . During the third partition of Poland , Grójec came to Prussia in 1795. With the creation of the Duchy of Warsaw , the city became part of the same and then in 1815 part of Congress Poland . The construction of the road from Radom to Warsaw through Grójec at the beginning of the 19th century helped the city flourish. In 1914 the city was connected to the rail network, which enabled a direct connection to Warsaw. In September 1939, the city was occupied by the Wehrmacht as part of the attack on Poland and then annexed by Germany in violation of international law. A Jewish ghetto existed in the city from 1940 to 1942 . The occupation by the Germans lasted until the Vistula-Oder operation of the Red Army , as a result of which the city was captured by the Soviet troops on January 15, 1945. In the following years Grójec became part of the Warsaw Voivodeship . With the restructuring of the Polish administration, the city came to the Radom Voivodeship in 1975 . Since 1999 the place is part of the Masovian Voivodeship .
