The parish church in Latowicz was founded in 1400.[3] Town rights were granted in 1423 by Duke Janusz I the Old.[3] It was a royal town, administratively located in the Garwolin County in the Masovian Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[4]
Following the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Latowicz was occupied by Germany until 1944.
