Tarczyn is a town in central Poland, seat of Gmina Tarczyn, in the Piaseczno County, in Masovian Voivodeship, about south of Warsaw. There were 3,919 inhabitants living there in 2010. This town became famous for the eponymous juices that were made there.
==History== thumb|left|upright|Memorial to local Polish resistance movement in World War II|Polish resistance members murdered by the Germans in 1944 Tarczyn was founded as a market settlement in the 13th century. It was located at the intersection of the north-south Zakroczym-Warsaw-Radom and east-west Lublin-Łowicz-Poznań trade routes. It was established close to the banks of a small river, known today as Tarczynka, thereby deriving its name from this river. Early documented references to the locality include: "Tarczin" (1284), Tarczyno (1303), Tarczyn (1353, 1580), Tharczino (1355, 1241), Tarcynum (1634). Tarczyn was first mentioned in 1259. In 1353 the Mazovian Duke Casimir I gave the locality its Magdeburg town charter and financed the founding of Gothic St. Nicolas's church.
