The article describes all the towns in Poland where a population volume exceeded a liminal value of 100.000 inhabitants in any time period from 1950 to 2000. State of population and dynamic grouped in 5-year periods with breakdown into the largest cities and other towns indicated as large towns. An analyse of population volume of large cities was conducted on the basis of observation of changes in particular decades. In 1950 a number of large cities was calculated at 16 (5 largest cities) and the great-est population volume was received at the end of 80-ies, presently a number of large cities is estimated at 42 (10 largest cities). In 1973-1977 observed the important increases of population of large cities because of change of administrative borders (mainly cities of the Katowicka and Rybnicka agglomerations) and decreases of population observed in 90-ies (the largest in Tychy and Wodzisław Śląski). The largest increase of population volume observed in Jastrzębie Zdrój (11 times) and Tychy (10 times). simultaneously, in Chorzów observed the decrease of number of inhabitants about 7% from 1950 to 2000. In other cities observed various increases of population volume, from 15% in Zabrze to 500% in Koszalin and Rzeszów enough. In conducted analyse observed that majority of large cities are characterised by regress or stabilisation of population number and this process started in coal basins and large urban and industrial centres earlier. In 7 large cities: Białystok, Gdynia, Olsztyn, Elbląg, Rzeszów, Zielona Góra and Kalisz a number of inhabitants is increasing, despite the observed of low natural increase and decrease of migrations from rural areas to urban areas.
