==History== thumb|left|Feast of Corpus Christi|Corpus Christi procession in 1937 Myszyniec was founded in 1654 by the Jesuits, under a royal privilege issued by King John II Casimir Vasa. It was located in the Masovian Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. The populace was initially mostly engaged in cartage and pig trading. In 1677, King John III Sobieski permitted the establishment of a school, a brewery and an inn. In 1708, the local Kurpie, led by regional Polish folk hero Stach Konwa, defeated the invading Swedes during the Great Northern War. In 1719, King Augustus II the Strong established annual fairs and weekly markets in Myszyniec. The town was granted town rights in 1798.
