History edit

The territory became part of the emerging Polish state in the 10th century. The village was mentioned in medieval documents in 1297.[2] In 1326, Trojden I, Duke of Masovia from the Piast dynasty granted it to knight Domisław.[3] Jazgarzew was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Masovian Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.
