history
The first written mention of the place Kossowo comes from the year 1202. The first church was possibly built around 1300, other sources mention the year 1425. 1723 the place was first documented as a city. On March 18, 1778, King Stanislaus II August Poniatowski granted the town the right to hold two weekly markets and four annual markets . During the partitions of Poland , Kosów Lacki became part of Congress Poland . After the January uprising , the Russian tsar changed the administrative structures in Congress Poland and the place lost its town charter in 1869. In 1887 the place was connected to the Siedlce rail network to Małkinia . In September 1939 the place was occupied by the German Wehrmacht . After the end of the Second World War , the place became part of Poland. On January 1, 2000, Kosów Lacki was again granted city rights.
Surname
The name of the place is derived from the word kos , which means blackbird . The addition Lacki was introduced later to distinguish it from the then village and today's district of Kosów Ruski . The adjective Lacki (similar to Podlaski ) refers to the term "Lach" , which the Ruthenian population used to describe the Poles.

In the north, the 677 crosses the European route 67 after about 30 kilometers in Ostrów Mazowiecka . Provincial road 695 begins in Kosów Lacki and ends after just seven kilometers in an easterly direction where it joins state road 63 .
The Małkinia-Siedlce railway connection, which was well-frequented at the time, was closed to passenger traffic in the early 1990s due to the poor condition of the bridge in Małkinia. For almost ten years, the route was operated five times a day by the rail replacement service on behalf of the PKP (Polish State Railways).
In the 2010s, the railroad track between Małkinia and Kosów Lacki was dismantled. The road no. 677 was moved to the old track bed. The further dismantling of the railroad track and also a relocation of the road No. 677 to the old track bed between Kosów Lacki and Sokołów Podlaski has already been decided.
The nearest international airport is Frédéric Chopin Airport in Warsaw, about 100 kilometers to the southwest.
