History


The town was founded by Adam Olbracht Przyjma-Przyjemski for Protestant refugees from Silesia during the Thirty Years War. From the partition of Poland in 1793 to the Great War of 1914-1918, with a brief interruption in 1815, when Napoleon made it part of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, Rawicz was part of the German kingdom of Prussia. In the 1800s, it contained a Protestant church and a medieval town hall. The principal industry was the manufacture of snuff and cigars. Trade involved grain, wool, cattle, hides, and timber. In 1905 it had 11,403 inhabitants.
A large prison exists in former monastery since 1820.
After World War I the town became part of the Second Polish Republic.


A 50 billion cubic feet natural gas discovery at Rawicz in 2015 is expected to be the largest gas development in Poland for 20 years.[1]
