Chodecz in 1936

Chodecz was granted town rights in 1442.[2] It was a private town, administratively located in the Przedecz County in the Brześć Kujawski Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[3] In 1544 King Sigismund I the Old established four annual fairs in Chodecz, and in 1666 King John II Casimir Vasa established a fifth fair.[4]

Following the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, the town was annexed by Prussia. After 1800 town rights were revoked.[2] In 1807, Chodecz was regained by Poles and included in the short-lived Duchy of Warsaw. After the duchy's dissolution in 1815, the town passed to the Russian Partition of Poland. In 1822, town rights were restored, although they were once again revoked in 1870 as punishment for the unsuccessful Polish January Uprising.[2] In 1918, Poland regained independence and control of Chodecz. In 1921, town rights were restored.[2]

During the German occupation (World War II), the town was renamed Godetz.
