History
Podgórz was a royal town of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Inowrocław County in the Inowrocław Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.[2] In 1644, the Franciscans moved from Toruń to Podgórz, and castellan of Bydgoszcz and starost of Dybów Stanisław Sokołowski funded the construction of a monastery.[3] After the annexation of Inowrocław by Prussia in 1773, the county seat of the Inowrocław County was moved to Podgórz in 1776.[3] In 1813, the town was devastated by French troops.[3]
In 1934, the adjacent settlement of Piaski was included within the town limits of Podgórz.[4] In 1938, Podgórz was included within the city limits of Toruń, as its left-bank district.[5]
