Even before the First Partition of Poland , the Habsburgs occupied the country of Muszyna in 1770. Two years later, Piwniczna became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). In the middle of the 19th century, the Austrian administration planned to close the Krynica spa . In response, Ignacy Medwecki from Muszyna began to found the spa south of Żegiestów. The village remained private until 1939 and in 1876 it was the first health resort in the Galician Carpathians to be connected to the railway line. In 1924 it was officially recognized as a health resort by Poland. In 1900 the municipality of Żegiestów had 1,351 hectares, 135 houses with 822 inhabitants, the majority of them Ruthenian-speaking (757) and Greek-Catholic (764), also Roman-Catholic (38) and Polish-speaking (38) population, and 20 German-speaking and 20 Jews.
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Żegiestów became part of the Second Polish Republic . During the Second World War it belonged to the Krakow district in the Generalgouvernement . In 1944 the Lemks were resettled in the Soviet Ukraine, the rest were expelled in the Vistula action .
From 1975 to 1998 Żegiestów was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
