In the 1570s the place received from Sigismund III. Wasa the city charter with the right to hold a weekly market and six annual markets . In the second half of the 16th century the place was a center of Calvinism and synods of the Calvinists were held here in 1595, 1638, 1642 and 1647 . In 1648 the city was plundered and pillaged by the Cossacks under Bohdan Khmelnytskyi during the Khmelnytskyi uprising . Another Tartar incursion in the second half of the 17th century destroyed the city again. During the first partition of Poland , the place came to Austria in 1772 . In 1809 the city became part of the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 Congress of Poland . After the January Uprising in 1869, Krasnobród lost its town charter, like many others in Congress Poland. During the First World War there was a battle between Russian and Austrian troops at the place. The subsequent occupation by Austrian troops led to numerous destruction. After the end of the war, the city became part of the re-established Poland . At the beginning of the Second World War , the place was first occupied by the Germans. Shortly afterwards, on September 23, 1939, there was a skirmish between German and Polish troops , from which the Poles emerged victorious. The battle was one of the last in which two cavalry units collided. Already on 24./25. September the Poles were defeated by the Wehrmacht and Krasnobród was occupied. Then the area was handed over to the Soviet Union . However, their troops withdrew from the city a few weeks later in accordance with the Hitler-Stalin Pact and left them to the National Socialists . A ghetto was set up for the Jews and they were obliged to do forced labor. In the spring of 1941, more Jews came from the Litzmannstadt (Łódź) and Leslau ( Włocławek ) ghettos . In July 1942, numerous Jews were murdered or deported to the Belzec extermination camp . On October 26, 1942, the last survivors were shot and some were taken to the Izbica ghetto . In 1944 the Red Army invaded the area and as a result of the war, Krasnobród became part of the People's Republic of Poland . A sanatorium for children was built in the 1950s . On January 1, 1995, Krasnobród became a city again.
The name of the city is made up of two words; Krasno for beautiful and bród for ford .
