It is located at the confluence of the Obra and Warta rivers, about {{convert|18|km|mi|abbr=on}} north of Międzyrzecz and {{convert|23|km|mi|abbr=on}} south-east of the regional capital Gorzów Wielkopolski. The town is situated in a particularly green part of Poland. Extensive forests and numerous lakes can be found in the vicinity.

History

Skwierzyna already held town privileges upon the death of the Piast duke Przemysł II of Greater Poland in 1296, renewed by the Polish king Władysław II Jagiełło in 1406. The colonization of the area was largely implemented by the Cistercian monks of nearby Paradyż Abbey, a filial monastery of Lehnin Abbey in the Margraviate of Brandenburg. With its predominantly German citizens, the town for centuries belonged to the Polish Poznań Voivodeship, situated near the western border of the Lands of the Polish Crown with the Brandenburgian Neumark region.

In the course of the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, Skwierzyna was annexed together with the whole region of Greater Poland by the Kingdom of Prussia. It was part of Grand Duchy of Warsaw between 1807 and 1815. It was incorporated into the Kreis Birnbaum of the Grand Duchy of Posen in 1815. From 1887 it was the administrative seat of Kreis Schwerin within the Prussian Province of Posen. In 1919, according to the Treaty of Versailles, this district was left in the small province of Posen-West Prussia which remained part of Weimar Germany. Posen-West Prussia was dissolved in 1938 and Schwerin/Skwierzyna became part of the Province of Brandenburg. It was part of Germany until occupation by the Red Army on 31 January 1945.

At the end of World War II the lands east of the Oder-Neisse line fell to the Republic of Poland.
