history

The first written mention of the place comes from the year 1429 ( agrorum Blazowiensium ), then Blaszowa (1430), Blazowa (1432?), Blazow (1436), Blaszow (1453), Blazowa (1508), Blazeiowa (1629), Błażowa ( 1794). The possessive name is derived from the personal name Błaż (Polish Błażej, German Blaise ) with the suffix -owa.

In 1432 a Roman Catholic parish was established.

In 1624 the Tatars invaded the area. They pillage both in the city and in the surrounding villages. 1672 was also a difficult year for the city, as again Tartars, but also Cossacks caused destruction in the city. During the Great Northern War , Swedish troops marched into Błażowa in 1704. In 1770 the place owned by Prince Alexander Jakob Lubomirski received market rights.

As a result of the first partition of Poland , the place fell to Austria in 1772 . In 1790 the first fire brigade was founded by Henryk Fleming . The weavers 'association was founded in 1884 and a weavers' school the following year. In 1895 the previously existing fire brigade was converted into a volunteer fire brigade . The neo-Gothic church was built between 1896 and 1900 under the direction of the architect Jan Sasa-Zubrzycki . In 1907 a fire raged in the city and largely destroyed it. A few stone buildings, including the church, were spared. After the end of the First World War , the city became part of Poland, which was re-established by the peace treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918 .

When the Second World War broke out , the city was occupied by the Wehrmacht in September 1939 . That same year, Jews were in the city deported ; in February 1942 there were about 1,100 Jews in the city. In the summer of that year they were deported and murdered. In 1944 the Wehrmacht had to withdraw due to pressure from the Red Army , the area was occupied by the Soviet Army and the city became part of Poland.

In 1950 a state kindergarten was established. During an administrative reform in Poland, the city was part of the newly formed Rzeszów Voivodeship on 1975 . After its dissolution, Błażowa was part of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship from 1999.

In 2002 the gimnazjum received im. Anny Jenke a new building.
