 ŁÓD¬ EARLIER....
The first mention of ŁódĽ may be found in documents dated to 1332 when ŁódĽ was a small village founded at the Łódka river, with its characteristic irregular market square situated on a slope of a valley, and the church square. In 1423 ŁódĽ was granted municipal rights by the king Władysław Jagiełło. Within the next 400 years there were not too many important events that could change the character of the city. Up till 19th century when the Parliament of the Kingdom of Poland decided that ŁódĽ should become the centre of clothing and textile industries.
And the changes that took place in the ŁódĽ area from then on may be considered just incredible.
The general view of ŁódĽ in 1895.
Within the next several dozen years ŁódĽ has grown to become one of the largest and most dynamic centres of textile industry on European scale. From tiny agricultural town it has developed to become the second largest city, the true large industrial metropolis. In 1870-1890 giant factories and housing quarters for workers were constructed, and in line with them grew the capitals of ŁódĽ industrialists, their stylish palace residences and villas surrounded with beautiful parks. Many of the buildings may still be admired; nowadays they house museums, state administration offices or private enterprises. The largest residences were owned by families Scheibler, Poznański, Henzel, Herbst, Kunitzer and Geyer. They were members of the ŁódĽ bourgeosie known from the film "The Promised Land" directed by Andrzej Wajda.
