Abstract

The aim of this article is to trace the history of the tobacco industry in Bydgoszcz from the mid-19th century until the establishment of the Polish Tobacco Monopoly in 1922. The research was conducted using the records of Commercial Register Records (Akta Rejestru Handlowego), the City of Bydgoszcz Records (Akta miasta Bydgoszczy), and the Construction Records of the City of Bydgoszcz (Akta budowlane miasta Bydgoszczy) from the years 1850–1925. Archival information was supplemented with data from the daily press from the years 1908–1924. The research topic was presented against the background of the political and economic situation of the city (until 1920 Bydgoszcz was under Prussian rule, and after 1920 returned to the territory of the Polish state). The activity of tobacco factories in the analysed period was an important element of both the local and state economy.
