Editing Piaseczno (section)

===Late modern era===
From 1806 to 1807 a [[First French Empire|French]] [[cavalry]] unit was stationed in the town as part of the [[Napoleonic wars]], and from 1808 to 1811 this was replaced by the Polish 1st Regiment mounted rifles. The [[Congress of Vienna]], saw the area ceded to [[Russian Empire|Russia]] in 1815.

In 1825 the road from Warsaw and shortly afterward the railway improved links to Warsaw. As a result, Piaseczno experienced a period of economic recovery. Local Poles took part in the large [[January Uprising]] of 1863–1864. On June 15, 1864, a clash between Polish insurgents and Russian troops took place near Piaseczno.<ref>{{cite book|last=Zieliński|first=Stanisław|title=Bitwy i potyczki 1863-1864.

In September and October 1914 Piaseczno was the site of fierce fighting between [[Imperial German Army|German]] and [[Imperial Russian Army|Russian]] forces in the battle for Warsaw. In May 1917, the new City Council held its first council meeting. In November 1918, German gendarmerie surrendered to local Poles and the town was restored to Poland, which just regained independence. In the [[interbellum]] Piaseczno formed part of the Polish [[Warsaw Voivodeship (1919–1939)|Warsaw Voivodeship]].

On June 4, 1928, [[Polish President]] [[Ignacy Mościcki]] laid the cornerstone for the folk house and in 1933 [[Marshal of Poland|Marshal]] [[Józef Piłsudski]] was made an honorary citizen of the city.
