Mokobody is a village in Siedlce County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland, in the historical region of Podlachia. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Mokobody.
In 1496, it was granted Cheà Âmno town rights with two annual fairs by Alexander Jagiellon. King Sigismund I the Old allowed to change the name to Nowe Miasto, meaning "new town", however, the old name remained in use. It was a private town of the Chreptowicz and Ossolià Âski noble families, administratively located in the Drohiczyn County in the Podlaskie Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. In 1774, King Stanisà Âaw August Poniatowski established eight annual fairs.
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Mokobody was occupied by Germany until 1944.
