Rozprza

Rozprza [ˈrɔspʂa] is a town in Piotrków County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland.

In the early Middle Ages, Rozprza was located at the intersection of two busy merchant routes, from Gdańsk to Kraków, and from Rus to Sieradz and Kalisz.

The gord itself lied at the edge of a large wilderness, and served as a toll collection point for merchants and their wagons.

In the second half of the 10th century, a system of the so-called service villages was established in Polish castellanies.

In the Castellany of Rozprza there were such villages as Woźniki (manufacture of wagons), Piekary (bread baking), Bartodzieje (honey making), and Ciesle (woodworking).

Due to proximity of quickly developing Piotrków Trybunalski, Rozprza remained a small town, whose population was app.
