Battle of Ciołków (the village is now called Ciółkowo; north-east of Płock) of January 22, 1863, was the first skirmish of the January Uprising. Fought between an unorganised Polish troop of ca. 100 men under Aleksander Rogaliński and a company of the Russian Murom Regiment under Col. Kozlaninov, the skirmish resulted in Polish victory. As the engagement started on the very first day of the uprising, the Russian force still obeyed the orders of marching through the occupied country with their rifles unloaded. When the Russians approached a local manor in which the Poles had their quarters, the Russian commander ordered a loose formation and tried to negotiate an agreement and take all Poles into captivity.
