It is also the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Pobiedziska.

Etymology

The town's name comes from the word pobieda meaning victory. It was named by Casimir I the Restorer in 1048 AD, possibly to commemorate his defeat of Masław, a rebellious Masovian namiestnik.

History

In 1257, Pobiedziska was granted town privileges by Przemysł I of Greater Poland, making the town independent from the Ostrów Lednicki castellany. In 1331, the town was destroyed by the Teutonic Knights and it took many years to recover. It was a royal town of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Gniezno County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province. The town was often visited by Władysław Jagiełło. In 1423 he funded the construction of a Church of the Holy Spirit as well as a hospital for the poor.

Due to the Second Partition of Poland, the town fell under Prussian control in 1793. After the successful Greater Poland uprising of 1806, it was regained by Poles and included within the Duchy of Warsaw. After its dissolution, it was re-annexed by Prussia in 1815, and from 1871 it was also part of the German Empire. On December 29, 1918, the inhabitants of Pobiedziska took control of the town from German officials and disarmed the police and settlers. On January 4, 1919, Poles from Pobiedziska formed a 400-strong battalion which fought in the Greater Poland Uprising (1918–1919), including the battle for Inowrocław.

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was occupied by Germany until 1945. The first expulsions of 218 Poles were carried out in December 1939. A local unit of the Wielkopolska Organizacja Wojskowa Polish resistance organization was founded already in 1939, and the following year it became part of the larger Wojskowa Organizacja Ziem Zachodnich organization. Mieczysław Golus, commander of the local unit of the Union of Armed Struggle, was arrested by the Germans in 1942 and then sentenced to death and executed the following year.
