Hanczowa ( lemkisch Ганьчова) is a town with a mayor's office of the municipality Uście Gorlickie in gorlice county of Malopolska province in Poland .
geography
The place is located on the Ropa River in the Lower Beskids in the so-called Lemkenland . The neighboring towns are Uście Gorlickie in the north, Kwiatoń , Skwirtne and Regietów in the east, Wysowa-Zdrój in the south, and Stawisza and Ropki in the west.
history
The place is on an old trade route along the Ropa through the Wysowska Pass to Hungary . In 1359 Jan Gładysz was granted the privilege to colonize the Upper Ropa. At that time only the village of Łosie existed there , but the Gładysz family from Szymbark founded 19 villages thanks to the privilege, mostly in the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
The village probably originated in the middle of the 15th century, but was first mentioned as Hanczowa in 1480 . Later the mentions of Hanszowa (1496), Anczowa (1497), Hanyczowa (1500 or 1509), Hanczowa (1581) etc. followed. The possessive name is derived from the personal name Haniec (<German Johannes ). In 1536, the Schulzenamt , which was linked to German law, was mentioned (in Wallachian law the municipality of Knesen was run).
The village in the Biecz district of the Kraków Voivodeship belonged to the noble Gładysz family until the second half of the 16th century. In 1526 Paweł Gładysz made a financial donation to the local Orthodox priest, but the Orthodox or Greek Catholic Church was not confirmed in a document until 1629. In 1771, 95 Greek Catholic families lived there.
During the first partition of Poland in 1772 Hańczowa became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). The local elementary school mentioned in 1813 was considered one of the best in the mountains in the Greek Catholic diocese of Przemyśl, which contributed to the low level of illiteracy among children. Before the First World War there was a reading room there, but it was closed by Austrians in 1914.
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Hańczowa came to Poland. In 1921 there were 685 Greek Catholics, 24 Roman Catholics and 15 Jews in the village. In 1931 the United families changed their denomination to Orthodox (see also Russophile Movement in Galicia ).
During the Second World War , the place belonged to the Krakow district in the Generalgouvernement . In 1945, 15 families voluntarily went to the Soviet Union . In 1947 the rest of the Lemks were expelled as part of the Vistula Action , only a few families returned after 1956 (Uście Gorlickie in the north, on the other hand, became the new center of Lemkian culture in the area), which is what the former, devastated Greek Catholic Church intended saved from demolition, this time as the seat of a parish of the Polish Orthodox Church .
From 1975 to 1998 Hańczowa was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
