10th century as a Piast defensive settlement and obtained city rights in the 13th century from Duke Konrad I. It is known for one of the most important medieval Polish defensive battles against German incursions. Due to the town's strategic location on several trade routes, the townspeople received many privileges and benefits, which brought wealth and greatly reflected on the city's architecture. From 1251 to 1506, it was the capital of a small eponymous duchy ruled by a local line of the Piast dynasty and by future Kings of Poland from the Jagiellonian dynasty. Over time, Głogów grew to be one of the largest fortified towns in Lower Silesia. The demolition of fortifications at the beginning of the 20th century improved the chances for further growth. However, towards the end of the Second World War Głogów was once again turned into a defensive fortress and as such suffered almost complete destruction.
Currently reconstruction works are being carried out with the aim of restoring the historic pre-war appearance of the town. The castle, which was rebuilt between 1971 and 1983, now houses the Historical and Archaeological Museum, displaying artifacts such as Lusatian burial artifacts from Wróblin Głogowski. Since 1984 the town also has been the venue for the Głogów Jazz Festival, which features local and international singers, musicians and performers.
Głogów is one of four cities in the Copper Basin (along with Legnica, Lubin and Polkowice), a copper mining and smelting district, one of the richest regions in Poland.
