Szamocin [ʂaˈmɔt͡ɕin] (Template:Lang-de) is a city in Chodzież County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland.

History

Szamoczino in the Duchy of Greater Poland was first mentioned in a 1364 deed. It received town privileges from the hands of King Augustus III of Poland in 1748.

In the First partition of Poland in 1772 the town was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia, fell to the Napoleonic Duchy of Warsaw in 1807 and was restored to Prussia in 1815, whereafter it was governed within the Kreis Kolmar in Posen, part of the Grand Duchy of Posen. During the Industrial Revolution, the town evolved to a centre of the weaving industry.

After World War I, the Greater Poland Uprising and the Treaty of Versailles, Szamocin became part of the newly established Second Polish Republic in 1921.
