history
In the Liber beneficiorum dioecesis Cracoviensis from 1440 Jan Długosz mentions the three villages Gnojnik, Gothprzidowa and Tymowa , which were allegedly obliged to pay the tithe as early as 1215 by Wincenty Kadłubek . The first reliable mention as item Andreas, plebanus ecclesie de Gnoynik comes from the Peterspfennigregister of the Krakow diocese in 1325/1326. The topographical name is derived from the ancient Slavic * gnojьnikь and denotes dung heap, possibly a plant of the genus Crithmum quartum . The local fortified church was built in 1380 and in Arian ( Polish Brothers ) from 1573 to 1617 . Probably Samuel Przypkowski was born in the village in 1592 .
During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Gnojnik became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). After the abolition of patrimonial it formed a parish in the Brzesko district .
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Gnojnik came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .
From 1975 to 1998 Gnojnik was part of the Tarnów Voivodeship .
