Zbiersk-Cukrownia

Zbiersk-Cukrownia is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Stawiszyn, within Kalisz County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. It lies approximately 5 km north-east of Stawiszyn, 22 km north of Kalisz, and 98 km south-east of the regional capital Poznań.

History
The village was established as a result of administrative reform on 1 January 1973. During said reform, smaller administrative units of gromada and osiedle (settlement) were replaced with larger gminas. There was a question whether to locate gmina's capital in Zbiersk, which was the biggest village of the region, but was located on its outskirts, or nearby Stawiszyn – which was located closer to gmina's center, but was a smaller town (in fact, the smallest town in Poland). To solve the dispute, Zbiersk was divided into Zbiersk (western part) and Zbiersk-Cukrownia (eastern part) along the Konin-Kalisz road. The name of the new village was derived from a local sugar refinery (pl. cukrownia), established in the 19th century.
