Radzymin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radzymin (pronounce [ra'ʣɨmin]) is a town in Poland and one of the distant suburbs of the city of Warsaw. It is located in the powiat of Wołomin of the Masovian Voivodeship. The town has 7595 inhabitants (as of 2004), but the surrounding commune is heavily populated and has additional 11,000 inhabitants.
Radzymin was located by Bolesław IV of Masovia in 1440. It was granted with a town charter in 1475. Since then, the town shared the fate of the nearby city of Warsaw, located merely 25 kilometres away.
The town is notable for two major battles of Radzymin that took place there in 20th century.
