history

The place was first mentioned in 1382 as Borek . The name Borek (diminutive form of bór - coniferous forest ) was added in the middle of the 19th century with the adjective Fałęski , later Fałęcki , after the personal name Fałęta , to distinguish it from Borek Szlachecki, among others .

Politically, the place was initially part of the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Szczyrzyc District. In 1464 the village belonging to the parish of Kazimierz was transferred from the Polish to the Magdeburg law by Casimir IV. Andrew .

During the first partition of Poland , Borek Fałęcki came to the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). The Austrians built a branch of the Reichsstrasse between Vienna and Lemberg to Josephstadt (Podgórze) through Borek. After the abolition of patrimonial it formed a municipality in the judicial district of Skawina .

In 1900 the municipality of Borek Fałęcki had an area of ​​399 hectares with 79 houses and 564 inhabitants (plus 6 buildings and 57 inhabitants in the estate), all of whom were Polish-speaking, except for Roman Catholics there were 7 Jews (19 in the estate).

In the course of industrialization, a brick factory, a candle factory, an ironworks (by Juliusz Epstein in 1905) and the Solvay soda factory (in 1906) were founded. A workers' settlement was built between 1909 and 1912 .

After the end of World War I in 1918 and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy , the village became part of Poland. In 1933 the construction of the parish church on Górka Borkowska hill near Zakopianka began, which was not finished before the war.

It was incorporated into Krakow by German occupiers in 1941, which was only confirmed by the Polish administration on January 18, 1945. Karol Józef Wojtyła worked in the Solvay soda factory during World War II, who later visited the district and old friends in 1997 as Pope John Paul II .

In 1950 it was connected to the Kraków tram , shortly afterwards the first prefabricated housing estates were built.
