Harkabuz (Slovak and Hungarian Harkabúz ) is a Polish village in Gmina Raba Wyżna in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship in the Nowotarski powiat .

Geographical location

The place is located on the Orawka , north of the High Tatras, about 30 kilometers south of Nowy Targ and has about 537 inhabitants.

history

The place is in the Arwa landscape , which belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary until 1918 .

The place name comes from the first mayor - Bartłomiej Harkabuz, who was appointed in 1557 by Jerzy Thurzon, the lord of Orawski Castle. The first settlers were Harkabuzer riflemen. The place was first mentioned in writing in 1610 as Harkabuz.

In the 19th century, Slovak became the language of the church and schools, but the local Gorals spoke Goral , a dialect of Polish descent. In 1897 Polish activists started national agitation. In 1910 the Hungarian administration followed the Polish request for the first time in the census and Goral was considered Polish. In that year the village had 317 inhabitants, including 2 Hungarian-speaking, 6 German-speaking, 309 foreign-language (97.5%, Polish-speaking), 309 Roman Catholic, 8 Jews.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the village became part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia. Due to the Czechoslovak-Polish border conflicts in the Arwa area, the place was assigned to the Second Polish Republic in 1920. Between 1920 and 1925 he belonged to the powiat Spisko-Orawski , from July 1, 1925 to the powiat Nowotarski. In 1921 the community had 69 houses with 293 inhabitants, 290 of them Poles, 3 of other nationalities (mostly Slovaks), 286 Roman Catholics, 7 Israelite.

From 1939 to 1945 the village became part of the Slovak State .

From 1975 to 1998 Harkabuz was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
