Izbica Kujawska in the Years 1815-1870. Administration, Finances, And Municipal Property

Summary/Abstract: In the years 1815-1866, Izbica administratively belonged to the Kujawy region and district (since 1842), and from 1847, it belonged to the Włocławek district in the Mazovia Province, later, from 1837, to the Mazovian Governorate, and from 1845, to the Warsaw Governorate. After the territorial reform of 1866, at the beginning of 1867, Izbica was incorporated into the Koło County in the Kalisz Governorate. In 1866, the town ceased to be privately owned, and in 1870, pursuant to the law of 1869, Izbica lost its municipal rights and was transformed into a settlement, annexed to the rural district of Zagrodnica, later renamed Gmina Izbica. The municipal administration in the Kingdom of Poland was subordinated to state authority, meaning that each mayor was nominated, not elected by the community. Unlike many other towns, the municipal treasury of Izbica did not have its own properties for a long time. In this regard, the town’s assets were initially equivalent to zero, and from 1845, they were modest as the town council received a house from the town’s owner to adapt it into the town hall. The costs of maintaining municipal administration and implementing urban investments were covered by taxes, fees, and contributions from residents. Overall, during the discussed period, Izbica was one of the larger towns in terms of demographics in eastern Kujawy. The town was predominantly characterized by wooden architecture.
