Historically, Sierpc dates to the medieval era and received town rights in the late Middle Ages. It developed as a local market center and grew through agriculture and crafts. In the 20th century it underwent administrative and political changes, and since 1999 it has been part of the Masovian Voivodeship following Poland’s local government reforms.

The Mazovian Countryside Museum in Sierpc is a major cultural attraction, preserving a collection of wooden houses, windmills, and farm buildings transported from across the Mazovian countryside. The town also features a historic market square, a parish church, and other monuments that reflect its regional heritage.

Economy centers on small and medium-sized enterprises, services, and agriculture in the surrounding region. Sierpc is connected by road to nearby towns and has a regional rail link providing passenger services to larger centers, supporting commuting and tourism.

With ongoing cultural events and a focus on heritage preservation, Sierpc serves as a local hub for residents of the county and surrounding communities.
