History

Miasteczko is a former private town, once located in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2] The adjective Krajeńskie was added to the name after the historical-ethnocultural region of Krajna, within which it is located.

Polish folk hero Michał Drzymała is buried at the local cemetery.

Following the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, it was occupied by Germany until 1945. The local Polish police chief was murdered by the Russians in the Katyn massacre in 1940.[3][4]
