history
The settlement called Brzeźnica , which was established in the 7th century, formed the basis for the village . In 1140 Janik founded the Jędrzejów Monastery . Probably in 1153 the name of the place was changed to Jędrzejów. 1271 the town was granted by Boleslaw V. city charter by Magdeburg Law . In 1510 the town charter of Jędrzejów was confirmed by Sigismund I and the town got the right to hold a weekly market and three times a year a fair . In 1705 a severe fire raged in the city. During the Third Partition of Poland , Jędrzejów came to Austria in 1795 . With the formation of the Duchy of Warsaw , the city became part of it and, in 1815, part of Congress Poland . Two years later, or only in 1869, Jędrzejów lost its town charter. In 1885 it was connected to the rail network. In 1916 the place received city rights again. After the First World War , the place became part of the re-established Poland . In September 1939 the Wehrmacht marched in and occupied the city. In the spring of 1940 a ghetto was established that existed until September 1942. The occupation ended in 1945 with the invasion of the Red Army and the city became part of Poland again. In 1999 Jędrzejów became the seat of a powiat .
