in 1241 (see:
Mongol invasion of Poland). In 1251, it received a revenue privilege from King
Bolesław V the Chaste allowing the convent to use the salt water. This is the first record of the use of Busko's mineral waters.
In 1287, Busko was granted civic rights by King
Leszek II the Black. The advantageous location of the town on trade routes led King
Władysław Jagiełło to grant local burghers the right to have a weekly market and two fairs a year beginning in 1412. The 15th and 16th centuries were considered the "heyday" of the town. It was famous for its trade and cloth production.

Health Spa
History
The first document mentioning
brines in Busko is the revenue privilege of Bolesław V the Chaste from 1252. Jan Winterfeld conducted research on using
health waters to treat illness in 1808. When Feliks Rzewuski leased Busko in 1820, he built the spa
Amenities, which was designed by
Henryk Marconi.
The opening ceremony of the health spa took place in 1836.
Ferdynand Werner, Warsaw's pharmacist, published a full analysis of the water from Rotunda in 1832.
The town lost its
town rights in 1869. This had a negative impact on the development of the town.
Aleksander Dobrzański, a doctor, became a new
tenant in the 1880s.
Since then, the health resort has become one of the most important health resorts in the country.
Aleksander Michalski, an engineering geologist, drilled four new wells. Busko then had three times more water for medicinal purposes.
Franciszek Gervais showed the exact characterisation of the dynamics, physical features and chemical composition of waters from the new water intake in 1897.
After the First World War, bathers began to arrive at the health resorts. Very intensive expansion of the health resort occurred in the
interwar years, which was started by Dr.
Szymon Starkiewicz, who founded a children's sanatorium under the name 'Górka'. Busko won first place at the competition for the prettiest health resort in Poland, in 1966.
'Włókniarz' - the biggest sanatorium was handed over in 1972. On 30 December 2008, there was the opening of Uzdrowiskowy Zakład Górniczy "Las Winiarski". It gives Busko's sanatorium the waters of
sulphide from a new borehole, located in the town of Las Winiarski.
Current status
In Busko, there have been 13 sanatoriums, offering a total of 2066 rooms. The yearly number of treatments approximates half a million. Treatments available in Busko-Zdrój include those for
