This is a town with a very rich history, dating back to the 10th century. Among other things, the city made its mark in Polish history with the heroic "Defense of Glogow" of 1109. City rights were granted to the town in 1253.During the Thirty Years' War Glogow became a fortress, which was repeatedly captured and defended by Austrians, Prussians, Swedes, Russians and French in the following decades. The 18th century brought further changes - from 1740 the city was within the borders of the Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1871 within the German Empire. World War II proved tragic for Glogow - its buildings were 95% destroyed. The flywheel of development in socialist Poland turned out to be the finding of abundant copper deposits, which led to a boom in industry and an influx of people willing to work.
