Polish City:
One of the oldest and most famous of Polish towns, Radom is believed to have originated as a center for local diets. Its first church was erected in 1187. From the 14th to the 16th century it was the seat of the Polish diets, and from 1613 to 1766 of a tribunal. The Confederation of Radom in 1767 requested Russia to guarantee the Polish Constitution. Radom fell to Austria in the 1795 partition of Poland. In 1815 it was transferred to Russia and became the capital of the Radom Government of Russian Poland.
With the rebirth of Poland in 1919, following World War I, it became again a Polish city. Radom was heavily damaged during World War II, and few of the city's old buildings survive. Pop.
