The place was first mentioned in writing in 1252. In the village of Rakonewice, the landlord Christoph Grzymultowski, castellan of Posen , had a city built for German Protestants under Magdeburg law , which, according to the will of the founder , should actually be called Freystadt , but the village name prevailed; the Latin document for this was confirmed on February 24, 1662 by King John II Casimir . At that time, numerous Protestant Germans and Czechs were settled in the city and its surroundings. The town passed from Grzymultowski to Matthias Radomicki, who confirmed the founding letter in 1696. In 1708 half of the city burned down. Towards the end of the 18th century, the town was owned by the widowed castellaness of Zakrzewski.
In 1793 the city came to Prussia . In 1797, a quarter of the city's population consisted of Poles. In the 19th century, the town was owned by the Czarnecki family. Important sources of income for the urban population were based on the cultivation of vines and hops in the area.
