History
Łobżenica dates back to the 11th century.[2] It prospered due to its location between Gdańsk Pomerania and central Poland.[2] It was granted town rights before 1438, most likely in the 14th century by King Ladislaus the Short or Casimir III the Great of the Piast dynasty.[2] Łobżenica was a private town located in the Nakło County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[3] It was ravaged by the Teutonic Knights in 1431 and 1457.[2] The town prospered thanks to crafts, brewing and trade. Local merchants participated in trade with Poznań, the German-settled towns Bydgoszcz/Bromberg, Toruń/Thorn and Gdańsk/Danzig of Polish Royal Prussia, as well as other nearby towns.[2] In 1606, Scottish merchants settled in the town.[2] In the years 1612-1630 a mint operated in Łobżenica.[2] In the 17th century, Łobżenica became a Reformation center under the patronage of the Grudziński family.[2]
After the late 18th century Partitions of Poland, the town was annexed by Prussia. It was reintegrated into Poland,soon after the country regained independence in 1918.
