History

Myszyniec was founded in 1654 by the Jesuits in accordance with a royal privilege issued by King John II Casimir Vasa. It was located in the Masovian Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown. In 1708, the local Kurpie led by regional Polish folk hero Stach Konwa defeated the invading Swedes during the Great Northern War. In 1719, King Augustus II the Strong established annual fairs and weekly markets in Myszyniec. It was granted town rights in 1798.

In August 1920, Poles defeated the invading Soviets in the Battle of Myszyniec.

In the first days of the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, on September 1–4, 1939, it was the site of fierce Polish defense, however, it eventually fell to Nazi Germany, which then occupied the town until 1945.
