The County of Środa Śląska is one of the areas with the oldest colonization in Silesia.

In XIIth century in the trade route the market colony had appeared – Środa Śląska, which was changed into a town one hundred years later.
Location of Środa Śląska followed German law, which was adjusted to local conditions and needs and started to be called “the law of Środa Śląska”. The following ages are the period of going under Czech, Austrian and Prussian control. Many wars, which destroyed the areas were the effect of that, and also numerous cultural and religious influences. During the time of Napoleon wars Środa Śląska was visited by the emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who waited here in June, 1813 for declaring a ceasefire. At the end of the IInd world war the area of the county was conquered by Russian army and became their supporter in their fights for Wrocław.
