During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in December 1939, some expelled Poles from Ostrzeszów were deported to Mrozy.[2] Two local Polish railwaymen were captured by the Germans for rescuing Jews from the Holocaust and imprisoned in nearby Mińsk Mazowiecki, where they were eventually liberated by the Polish resistance.[3]
There is a railway station in Mrozy, located on the line connecting Warsaw and Terespol.
The local football club is Watra Mrozy.[4] It competes in the lower leagues.
