As early as the 12th century, there is said to have been a trading settlement on the site of today's Koźmin Wielkopolski. The first written mention of a village comes from the year 1232, when the place was created according to Magdeburg law . Between 1251 and 1283 the place received city ​​rights . In addition to the Polish place name Koźmin, the German name Horle was mentioned in a document in 1350 . From 1312 to 1338 the place was a royal city. In 1409 the first guild of the town was established with the cloth makers' guild . With the influx of further clothiers, the city grew outside the city walls from the 15th century - the independent city of Nowy Koźmin (in German New Koźmin ) emerged. In 1775, Koźmin Niemiecki (German Koźmin) was founded from the southern suburb, another city. During the second partition of Poland , the city became part of Prussia in 1793. From 1807 Koźmin was then part of the Duchy of Warsaw until it fell back to Prussia in 1815 and became the county seat of the Koschmin district . In 1811 the three cities were united into one. After 1837 Kozmin was renamed to Koschmin . The city's first loan company was founded in 1866. In 1875 it was connected to the rail network from Jarotschin to Gniezno . In 1919 the city came to the newly established Poland . In September 1939 Koźmin Wielkopolski was occupied by the German Wehrmacht . In May 1943 the name was changed to Horleburg . In January 1945, the Red Army marched into the area and the city came back to Poland.

Of the 4,358 inhabitants who lived in the city in 1890, 1,039 were Protestants, 2903 were Catholic and 401 were Jews. There were also about 2500 Poles.
