===Early history=== [[File:Kościół p.w. św.Anny i dzwonnica w Piasecznie ann03.JPG|thumb|left|upright|Gothic-Renaissance St. Anne church]] The origins of the city date back to a 13th-century village, located on the route between [[Warsaw]] and [[Czersk, Masovian Voivodeship|Czersk]]. Its strategic position meant that the village grew quickly. On 5 November 1429 the town obtained a [[charter]], and soon became a local [[Market town|market]]. A further charter was confirmed in 1461.<ref name="W. Bagińscy 2004, p 5-6">E. i W. Bagińscy, Szkice z dziejów Miasta Piaseczna, wyd. OK Piaseczno, 2004, p 5-6.</ref> In 1537 the town became [[Sigismund I the Old|Royal]] property and in the second half of the 16th century reached 1200 inhabitants based round the [[brewing]] and transport industries.<ref name="W. Bagińscy 2004, p 5-6"/> Piaseczno was a [[Royal city in Poland|royal town]] of Poland, administratively located in the [[Masovian Voivodeship (1526–1795)|Masovian Voivodeship]] in the [[Greater Poland Province, Crown of the Kingdom of Poland|Greater Poland Province]]. However, the city suffered setbacks because of numerous fires in the late 16th and early 17th centuries but returned to its former glory in the first half of the 18th century. During the [[Kościuszko Uprising]], on 9–10 July 1794, the Battle of Gołków was fought nearby between the Poles and the Russians, and then the town was burned by the Russians. Only a church and a few houses survived.
