KALISZ

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 642 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KALISZ , the
chief
  town of the above government, situated in 51 46' N. and 18 E., 147 M. by rail W.S.W. of Warsaw, on the banks of the Prosna, which there forms the boundary of Prussia. Pop. (1871), 18,o88; (1897), 21,68o, of whom 37% were
Jews
 . It is one of the oldest and finest cities of Poland, is the seat of a Roman Catholic
bishop
 , and possesses a castle, a teachers' institute and a large public park. The industrial establishments comprise a brewery, and factories for ribbons, cloth and
sugar
 , and tanneries.
Kalisz is identified with the Calisia of
Ptolemy
 , and its antiquity is indicated by the abundance of coins and other objects of ancient art which have been discovered on the site, as well as by the numerous burial mounds existing in the vicinity. It was the scene of the decisive victory of
Augustus
  the Strong of Poland over the Swedes on the 29th of October 1706, of several
minor
  conflicts in 1813, and of the friendly
meeting
  of the Russian and Prussian troops in 1835, in memory of which an iron obelisk was erected in the town by Nicholas I. in 1841. The treaty of 1813 between Russia and Prussia was signed here.
