The town is the birthplace of Casimir III, King of Poland (born in 1310).
The town is located on Poland's most important north-south highway, National Road 1 (DK1). The town bypass for this road was opened in December, 2007, allowing heavy traffic to avoid the town center. The A1 motorway passes just to the northeast of the town.
Its local association football team is Kujawiak Kowal.
