Staroźreby [starɔˈʑrɛbɨ] is a town in Płock County, Masovian Voivodeship, in central Poland.[2] It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Staroźreby.
History
The local Catholic parish was founded in c. 1402. Staroźreby was a private village, administratively located in the Bielsk County in the Płock Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[3] In the 16th century, the settlement passed to the Sobiejuski family of Dołęga coat of arms, which hailed from Sobiejuchy, and then took the surname Staroźrebski after their new seat.[4]
According to the 1921 census, Staroźreby with the adjacent manor farm had a population of 1,105, 98.1% Polish and 1.8% Jewish by declared nationality.[5]
Following the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Staroźreby was occupied by Germany until 1945. The local Polish parish priest Jan Zawidzki was murdered by the occupiers in the Soldau concentration camp in 1941.[6]
