Skarżysko-Kamienna is an industrial city formed in 1923 from the merger of several smaller localities dating back to the medieval and early modern periods. Mining in the area dates back to 10,000 BC, whereas iron ore mining and metallurgical production date back over 550 years. Since the 19th-century industrial revolution it became an important centre of industrial production, and since 1922 it became known as one of Poland's munition production centres, nowadays also hosting a military equipment museum. During World War II, it was the site of German Nazi atrocities with over 19,000 people killed.
Prior to 1928, it bore the name of Kamienna; in less formal contexts usually only the first part of the name (Skarżysko) is used. It belongs to historic Polish region of Lesser Poland.
Skarżysko-Kamienna is an important railroad junction, with two main lines crossing there.
