As a result of the [[Third Partition of Poland]] the city was annexed by [[Habsburg monarchy|Austria]]. During the [[Austro-Polish War]] of 1809 it was captured by prince [[Józef Antoni Poniatowski|Józef Poniatowski]] and joined with the Napoleon controlled [[Duchy of Warsaw]], but after the fall of [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] in 1815 it was joined with [[Russian Partition|Russian-controlled]] [[Congress Poland]]. For a brief period when Kraków was an independent [[city-state]] ([[Republic of Kraków]]), Kielce became the capital of the [[Kraków Voivodeship (1816–1837)|Kraków Voivodeship]]. Thanks to the efforts by [[Stanisław Staszic]] Kielce became the centre of the newly established Old-Polish Industrial Zone (''Staropolski Okręg Przemysłowy''). The town grew quickly as new mines, quarries and factories were constructed. In 1816 the first Polish technical university was founded in Kielce. However, after Staszic's death the Industrial Zone declined and in 1826 the school was moved to [[Warsaw]] and became the [[Warsaw University of Technology]].

In 1830 many of the inhabitants of Kielce took part in the [[November Uprising]] against Russia. In 1844, priest {{Interlanguage link|Piotr Ściegienny|pl}} began organising a local revolt to liberate Kielce from the Russian yoke, for which he was [[Sybirak|sent to Siberia]]. In 1863 Kielce took part in the [[January Uprising]]. As a reprisal for insubordination the tsarist authorities closed all Polish schools and turned Kielce into a military garrison city. The [[Polish language]] was banned. Because of these actions many [[gymnasium (school)|gymnasium]] students took part in the [[1905 Revolution]] and were joined by factory workers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mowiawieki.pl/artykul.html?id_artykul=2317 |title=Piotr Ściegienny – rewolucjonista w sutannie |author=Mirosław Caban |author2=Wojciech Kalwat |publisher=MowiaWieki.pl |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080208210323/http://www.mowiawieki.pl/artykul.html?id_artykul=2317 |archive-date=2008-02-08}}</ref>
