History

Stargard SzczeciƄski, city, Zachodniopomorskie województwo (province), northwestern Poland, on the Ina River. The city was chronicled from the 12th century, although it existed earlier. It was badly damaged in the 17th century during the Thirty Years’ War and fell to Brandenburg in 1648. Heavy bombing during World War II devastated many of its fine historical sites and destroyed 75 percent of the city. St. Mary’s Church (13th–15th century) and the 16th-century town hall have been rebuilt.

Stargard SzczeciƄski is an important railway junction. The city contains railroad workshops, flour and sugar mills, and agricultural-tool plants. Pop. (2011) 69,966.
