For the first time Nowa Sól was mentioned in 1585 as Neusalzburg. From the beginning, the settlement was associated with salt purification. It received city rights only in 1743. Shortly after the end of the XXX-year war, the saltworks, which began the existence of the city, was closed. The re-development of the city after the period of stagnation occurred in the 19th century when the thread and glue factories and the ironworks were established. At the beginning of the 20th century, the river shipyard and transshipment port were opened. In 1945, Nowa Sól returned to Poland.
