The town also has a monument known as Ściana Straceń or Ściana Śmierci, commemorating executed Home Army soldiers and civilians.
The poet Jan Kochanowski is closely associated with Zwoleń; from 1566 to 1575, he was a prebendary of the local parish.
Zwoleń was founded in the 1420s at the site of Gotardowa Wola, under a privilege granted by King Władysław Jagiełło. The founding documents are dated 1425.
