Aleksandrów Łódzki, Industrial town in Zgierz County, Poland

Located between the Vistula and Odra river basins, Aleksandrów Łódzki spans 13.82 square kilometers and connects to multiple regional transportation routes.

Founded in 1816 by Rafał Bratoszewski, the town received its name from Russian Emperor Alexander I and obtained municipal rights in 1822.

The town features two significant religious buildings: the St. Rafael and Michael Catholic Church from 1818 and an Evangelical church constructed in 1828.

The municipality maintains 2,623 registered companies, with textile manufacturing representing 38 percent of local economic activities.

The area earned the name 'Sock-city' during the late 19th century due to its concentrated knitting industry and specialized textile production.
