Wschowa is a town in the Lubusz Voivodeship in Poland with 14,607 inhabitants (2004). It is the capital of Wschowa County. Wschowa was originally a border fortress in a region disputed by Silesia and Greater Poland. After colonists established a settlement nearby, it received Magdeburg rights around 1250. The name Veschow (Wschowa) was first mentioned in 1248, while the name Frowenstat Civitas (Fraustadt) was first mentioned in 1290. After the Silesian Piasts had accepted Bohemian suzerainty, King Casimir III the Great in 1343 finally conquered it for Poland. The ziemia Wschowa then became part of the Pozna Voivodeship. Wschowa and its Latin school was one of the centres of the Protestant Reformation in Poland and a retreat for religious refugees in the days of the Counter-Reformation in adjacent Habsburg Silesia.
