Summary/Abstract: This article, conceived as a two-part text, aims to familiarize the Lublin's economic history in the period for the Kingdom of Poland unique: after the fall of the November Uprising, during the period of Paskiewicz's oppression (1832-1856) and a few years preceding the outbreak of the January insurrection. The contemporary development of the city and the condition of its industry, trade and commerce, in comparison with the economic boom of Lublin in the next fifty years were undoubtedly modest and not very effective. For these reasons, the role of this era in discussions about the economic rise of Lublin is being sometimes diminished. Wrongly. In the inter-uprising era the city grew moderately dynamically, but even then there were important urban transformations, innovators and interesting but not always fortunate industrial initiatives as well. It is also worth to mention.
