history

According to local tradition, the village was founded by German colonists after the Mongol storm in the 13th century, which is unlikely to be early for German settlement in this region and is not confirmed by sources . The place was first mentioned as Charzouice in 1347 when it was exchanged for other villages between Specymir and certain Charz, after which Specymir built the Melsztyn castle within the village of Charzewice, later also an independent settlement and the seat of a Roman Catholic parish . The name is patronymically derived from the personal name Charz (Zacharz, Zachariasz ).

The village initially belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Kraków Voivodeship , Sącz District. During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Charzewice became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). From 1855 Charzewice belonged to the Brzesko District .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Charzewice became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . From 1975 to 1998 Charzewice was part of the Tarnów Voivodeship .
