History

In 1496, it was granted Chełmno town rights with two annual fairs by Alexander Jagiellon. King Sigismund I the Old allowed to change the name to Nowe Miasto, meaning "new town", however, the old name remained in use. It was a private town of the Chreptowicz and Ossoliński noble families. In 1774, King Stanisław August Poniatowski established eight annual fairs. Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Mokobody was occupied by Germany until 1944.
