Golina [ɡɔˈlʲina] (German: Gohlen am Warthe) is a town in Konin County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland, with 4,366 inhabitants (2004). Golina is located 12 kilometers west from Konin, Wielkopolskie Voivodeship.

History[]

The town was mentioned in the Gesta principum Polonorum, the oldest Polish chronicle from the early 12th century.^[1] It was granted town rights in the 14th century. It was a private town of Poland located in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province. In 1793 Golina was annexed by Prussia as a result of the Second Partition of Poland.^[2] Regained by Poles in 1807, as part of the short-lived Polish Duchy of Warsaw, in 1815 it became part of Congress Poland, later forcibly integrated with Imperial Russia. As part of anti-Polish repressions after the unsuccessful January Uprising, Golina was deprived of its town rights in 1870, which it regained in 1921, after Poland regained independence.^[2] During the occupation of Poland (World War II) the Germans expelled most of its populace to the General Government.^[2]
