history
Interrupted by the German occupation in the Second World War from 1919 to 1975, today's municipal area belonged to the Poznan Voivodeship, with different layouts. - Lwówek was given the name Kirschneustadt in 1943 . The German minority was expelled after the World War .
The rural community of Lwówek was dissolved in 1954 and repeatedly transformed into different gromadas . From these, the rural community was re-formed on January 1, 1973. From 1975 to 1998 the municipality belonged to the greatly reduced Poznan Voivodeship . The powiat was dissolved during this time. City and rural community Lwówek were merged in 1990/1991 to form an urban and rural community. Since 1999 this has belonged to the Greater Poland Voivodeship and to the re-established powiat Nowotomyski.
