history
In 1511 Jan Sapieha , who became voivode of the newly founded Lithuanian Podlaskie Voivodeship in 1513 , bought the settlement. He had it fortified, expanded into a city under Magdeburg law and built a castle, which was then the seat of his family for centuries. In 1569 Poland and Lithuania were merged into a real union ( Union of Lublin ). In the Union of Brest , the Lithuanian Orthodox Church submitted to the Pope in 1596.
With the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, Kodeń came to the Habsburg Empire , during the period of French hegemony under Napoleon in 1807 to the Duchy of Warsaw under Friedrich August of Saxony and at the end of 1815 to Congress Poland . Initially linked with the Russian Empire in personal union, then annexed in 1831 as the ten Vistula governorates. Kodeń now belonged to the Siedlce Governorate .
After the end of the First World War , Kodeń was in an area that was disputed between the Polish Republic , proclaimed on October 7, 1918 and recognized by the Treaty of Versailles, practically in June 1919 and formally on January 10, 1920, and the Ukrainian, proclaimed in 1917 People's Republic , whose territory was in turn claimed by Soviet Russia . With the Riga Peace Treaty of 1921 , Kodeń was definitely part of the Second Polish Republic. During the Second World War, after the German occupation of Poland, it was in the General Government .
