history
The parish Libertas Jvonis was not yet mentioned in the Peterspfennigregister of the diocese of Krakow in 1325/1326, but was already described in 1327 ( Item Symon, plebanus ecclesie de Libertate Yvonis ), i.e. it was established at that time. According to the founding privilege of Queen Hedwig von Kalisch from 1334, the village under German law was laid out on 40 Franconian hooves in the forest upstream of the old village of Libertas Iwconis . The possessive name is derived from the personal name Iwo or Iwko . The addition Wola (Latin libertas ) indicated a tax-free start-up and was used until the early 15th century (1346 - Ywconis Libertas , 1348 - Libertas Ywonis , 1392 - Iwkowa, Iwkowa Wola , 1404 - Jwkowa Wolya ).
During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Iwkowa 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, Iwkowa came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .
From 1975 to 1998 Iwkowa was part of the Tarnów Voivodeship .
