Gogolin [ɡɔˈɡɔlʲin] is a town in southern Poland, in Opole Voivodeship, in Krapkowice County.

The oldest known mention of Gogolin, under its Old Polish name Gogolino, comes from a 1223 document of Wawrzyniec, bishop of Wrocław.

In the 19th century, the exploitation of local limestone deposits began on an industrial scale, and the first lime kilns were built.

[2] Also a train station was built, and Gogolin enjoyed railway connections with Opole (then Germanized as Oppeln), Kędzierzyn (Kandrzin), and Prudnik.

[2] At the Upper Silesia plebiscite of 20 March 1921, there were 1,262 votes for remaining in Germany and 955 for being reintegrated with Poland which just regained independence.
