Mokobody [mɔkɔˈbɔdɨ] is a village in Siedlce County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland, in the historical region of Podlachia. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Mokobody.[1] It lies approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) north-west of Siedlce and 77 km (48 mi) east of Warsaw.
In 1496, it was granted Chełmno town rights with two annual fairs by Alexander Jagiellon.[2] King Sigismund I the Old allowed to change the name to Nowe Miasto, meaning "new town", however, the old name remained in use.[2] It was a private town of the Chreptowicz and Ossoliński noble families.[2] In 1774, King Stanisław August Poniatowski established eight annual fairs.[2]
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Mokobody was occupied by Germany until 1944.
