history

It is believed that there was a Slavic rampart there in the 8th and 9th centuries . The place probably existed as early as the first half of the 13th century, but was completely destroyed by the Tatar storm around 1240 . It was allegedly re-established in 1339 under the founding privilege of Władysław I. Ellenlang according to Magdeburgen law , but the privilege was falsified in the 15th century. The first reliable mention of Bobino comes from the year 1342. The possessive name is derived either from the personal name Bób or from the appellative bob with the suffix -owa.

Bobowa belonged to the Bobowski family and developed quickly thanks to its location on the trade route to Hungary. In the early 15th century there were already three churches.

Bobova later belonged to the Jordan family for over a hundred years. In the years 1561 to 1563 the local church became Calvinist, later under Mikołaj Jordan, a zealous Arian , it became the seat of a congregation of the Polish Brothers . In 1580 the town was burned down. Around 1600 Bobowa was one of the 14 cities in the Krakow Voivodeship with the largest Jewish population (see shtetl ).

During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Bobowa became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Bobowa came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .

From 1975 to 1998 Bobowa was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
