Przedecz was founded in the 11th or early 12th century, and was first mentioned in 1136 deed issued by Pope Innocent II, denoting the settlement as a possession held by the Polish Archbishops of Gniezno.

[2] Re-acquired by King Casimir III the Great upon the 1343 Treaty of Kalisz, municipal laws were introduced in 1365 and Przedecz obtained the status of a royal city of the Polish Crown.

Administratively it was located in the Brześć Kujawski Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown.

[3] The city rights were confirmed according to Magdeburg town law by King Władysław II Jagiełło in 1420.
