History.
Kreis Mogilno (1815-1919) was a Kreis (county) in the northern administrative region of Bromberg, in the Prussian province of Posen. The territory was created as part of the Grand Duchy of Posen (1815-1848, in personal union with Prussia) and later was part of the Prussian Province of Posen (1848-1919). On January 18, 1871, Kreis Mogilno, along with all of Prussia, became part of the German Empire. The territory of Kreis Mogilno was reduced slightly in 1887 when its western extension (most of the Rogowo and Mittelwalde districts) was used to create the new Znin district.
Kreis Mogilno was part of the military command (German: "Bezirkskommando") at Gnesen (Gniezno). The main court (German: "Landgericht") was in Gnesen (Gniezno), with lower courts (German: "Amtsgericht") in Tremessen (Trzemeszno) and Mogilno.
On December 27, 1918, the Greater Poland uprising began in the province of Posen, and by December 31, 1918, the town of Mogilno was under Polish control. On February 16, 1919, an armistice ended the Polish-German fighting, and on June 28, 1919, the German government officially ceded Kreis Mogilno to the Second Polish Republic with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. 
During World War II, the territory of the former Kreis again became Landkreis Mogilno (Wartheland), 1939-1945 in Nazi Germany.
