It was one of many skirmishes of the January Uprising, the anti-Russian rebellion of Poles.

After a skirmish near the village of Panki, a party of Polish insurgents under Teodor Cieszkowski came to Mrzygłód, on 28 February 1863.

After two attacks, which were repulsed by the insurgents, Russian forces decided to withdraw towards Częstochowa, as their rear was exposed to another local insurgent unit.

On 1 March 1933, the 70th anniversary of the skirmish, a monument dedicated to the uprising was unveiled at the market square in Mrzygłód.
