history
Around the 14th century a fortified settlement was built on the site of today's Piaseczno. On November 5, 1429 the settlement of Duke received Janusz I the Old , the city charter to Kulm law . Around 1537 a brewery and brandy production were established in Piaseczno. This made the city the third city in Mazovia with these industries. In 1545 the city passed to the Polish Queen Bona Sforza . In the 16th century a big fire raged in the city and it lost its importance. In 1580 the shoemakers founded the city's first guild . On February 21, 1662, King John II Casimir gave the city the right to hold annual fairs. In 1659 the city was occupied by Sweden during the Swedish-Polish War , which meant the economic decline and depopulation of the place. 1677 enlarged Johann III. Sobieski the rights of Piaseczno, from now on three annual fairs could be held. In 1726 August II extended the rights of the city according to Magdeburg law . In 1730 a great fire raged in the city and destroyed, among other things, the town hall and thus the city's archives. During the Third Partition of Poland , the city became part of Prussia and in 1815 part of Congress Poland . In 1869 the city was revoked from the city by the Russian Tsar . During the First World War , the place and its surroundings witnessed fighting between Germans and Russians. During this time the population of the place decreased. In 1916 Piaseczno got its town charter back. In 1934 the city was connected to the Warsaw – Radom railway line .
On September 6, 1939, when the Wehrmacht tanks entered the city , the Second World War began to affect the city. When the occupation began, a prison camp was set up. 2200 Jews lived in Piaseczno, that was a third of the population, in the winter of 1940 the German occupiers ordered a forced ghetto, whose meanwhile 3500 inmates were deported to the Warsaw ghetto in February 1941 . On January 16, 1945, the Germans left the city without a fight and destroyed the station on their retreat. On July 1, 1952, the city became the seat of a powiat . On May 31, 1975, the city lost its seat as part of an administrative reform, but got it back in 1999.
From 1975 to 1998 the municipality was part of the Warsaw Voivodeship .
