history
The place was first mentioned in 1365 as "Inter villam Gavlov et Puszczynam siue Niepolomice" . In the same year it was transferred to Magdeburg law by Casimir the Great and was allowed to organize a weekly market .
During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Gawłów became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).
In the years 1784–1790, 22 German families of Lutheran and Catholic denominations were settled there in the course of the Josephine colonization . The part of the colonists was called Gawłów Nowy / Neu Gablau . In 1806 they built a wooden prayer house that is still standing today. A private evangelical elementary school was located in New Majkowice . The community belonged to the Evangelical Superintendenty AB Galizien . Apart from Gawłów Nowy and Neu Majkowice, this parish also included all Protestants from the Bochnia area : Bogucice , Wójtowstwo / Vogstdorf and Trinitatis (now within the city of Bochnia), Krzeczów , Książnice and Bratucice . The community counted 766 souls in 1875 (among them 97 in Gawłów Nowy; 654 Lutherans, 112 Calvinists). The colonists often worked in the Bochnia salt mine and by the end of the 19th century they were mostly Polonized. In 1900 the whole village had 592 inhabitants (425 in Gawłów Stary, 167 in Gawłów Nowy), 588 of them Polish-speaking (3 German-speaking in Gawłów Stary), 518 Roman Catholic (397 in Gawłów Stary, 121 in Gawłów Nowy), 23 Jews (12 in Gawłów Nowy, 11 in Gawłów Stary) and 51 other beliefs (mostly Protestant; 34 in Gawłów Nowy, 17 in Gawłów Stary).
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Gawłów came to Poland. This was interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II , during which it belonged to the Krakow district in the Generalgouvernement . Although the Protestants were almost completely Polonized, the majority of them fled westwards in 1945. The Protestant prayer house was changed to Roman Catholic.
From 1975 to 1998 Gawłów was part of the Tarnów Voivodeship .
