Rozprza was destroyed in the mid-13th century, probably during the Mongol invasion of Poland. The stronghold was quickly rebuilt, with a large garrison, which is confirmed by archaeological findings. Finally, west of the gord, the town of Rozprza was established before the year 1344. Due to proximity of quickly developing Piotrków Trybunalski, Rozprza remained a small town, whose population was app. 300 in the late 18th century. After the Partitions of Poland, Rozprza briefly belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1815 until 1915, it was part of Russian-controlled Congress Poland. In 1846-47, Rozprza received rail connection due to construction of the Warsaw-Vienna Railway. Following the January Uprising, Rozprza lost its town charter and has remained a village.
