As of the 2019 census, Sława had a population of 4,321. It is situated on the eastern shore of Lake Sławskie.

History

The area was part of Poland after the creation of the state in the 10th century. Later on, as a result of the fragmentation of Poland into smaller provincial duchies, Sława initially formed part of Greater Poland before it passed to Silesia, and then to the Duchy of Głogów, where it remained ruled by the Piast dynasty until 1468. The town was mentioned in a document from 1312.

In the 18th century, the town was annexed by Prussia, and between 1871 and 1945 the town was part of unified Germany under the Germanized name Schlawa. In 1937 it was renamed Schlesiersee during the Nazi campaign of erasing placenames of Polish origin. During World War II, the Germans operated a women's subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp in the town. On 21 January 1945 the camp was dissolved and the surviving prisoners were sent on a death march towards Zielona Góra. The original Polish name Sława was restored after Nazi Germany's defeat in the war, when the town once again became part of Poland.
