Summary/Abstract: The attempt, made in 1823–1824, to organize in Uniejów a factory settlement and to industrialize the town, was not successful. Cotton and flax manufacturing initiated by foreign crafts-men did not receive sufficient support from the city and province authorities. The article presents the group of the first ‘manufacturers’ in Uniejów and the scope of their activities, and explains the reasons for the failure to industrialize the city.
