Odrzywół received town charter in 1418, due to the efforts of the Starosta of Radom, Dobrogost Czarny Odrzywolski (Nalecz coat of arms). King Władysław Jagiełło permitted Odrzywolski to turn the village of Wysokin into the town of Odrzywół because during the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War, he had distinguished himself. Odrzywół remained a small town, which until the Partitions of Poland belonged to the Sandomierz Voivodeship. In 1815 it became part of Russian-controlled Congress Poland, and was stripped of its town charter because of participation of residents in the January Uprising.
