history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1347 as Lanka dicta Andreae Libertas (in a copy from the 16th century) when it was owned by Leonard von Banowice (downstream at Trzemeśnianka, now a hamlet of Droginia) with Banowice, Wola Marcinowa (later Trzemeśnia) was sold to Klemens von Branice . The surname Andreae Libertas or Wola indicated a tax-free start-up in Andreas' property, but was never used afterwards. The name Łęki , originally Łęka or Łąka , derived from * lǫk // * luk, denotes a meadow , a floodplain , or a river bend.

Ecclesiastically it still belongs to the parish in Trzemeśnia. In 1364 it was owned by Sezam von Grodziec and Birowo dicte Ticzka de Lenke, and in the 16th century by the Jordan family of Zakliczyn . Politically and administratively the village belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Szczyrzyc District.

In 1477 the settlement Bulina was founded around a glassworks, from the turn of the 19th century it was attached to Łęki as a hamlet.

When Poland was first partitioned , Łęki became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804).

After the outbreak of World War I in the Battle of Krakow the front reached the Trzemeśnianka. The fallen were buried in Droginia. In 1918, after the end of the World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Łęki came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the Krakow district in the General Government .

From 1975 to 1998 Łęki was part of the Kraków Voivodeship .
