History

The oldest known mention of Pakość comes from 1243. In 1258 a castle was erected. In the 15th and 16th centuries it was a Protestant center. The Działyński noble family founded a Baroque Catholic monastery, which remains one of the landmarks of the town.

Pakość was annexed by Prussia in the First Partition of Poland in 1772. In 1807 it became part of the short-lived Polish Duchy of Warsaw, in 1815 it was re-annexed by Prussia, and in 1871 it became part of Germany. The populace took part in the Greater Poland uprising (1918–19), and Pakość was successfully reintegrated with Poland, after the country regained independence in November 1918.

During the German occupation of Poland in World War II, the occupiers established and operated a forced labour subcamp of the Stalag XXI-D prisoner-of-war camp in the town.
