Jabłonka (Slovak and Hungarian Jablonka ) is a village in the powiat Nowotarski in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship in southern Poland . It is the seat of the rural community of the same name with around 18,500 inhabitants.

geography

The place lies on the river Czarna Orawa, which drains over the Orava and Waag into the Danube . The border with Slovakia runs south-west, 5 km away.

history

The place is located in the Arwa region , which belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary until 1918 , but not without Polish influence, when a customs office was founded in 1368 by the Polish King Casimir the Great . The village was founded in 1558 on the initiative of the owner of the Arwa Francis I Thurzo . Sebastian Jabłonowski from Jablunkov in the Duchy of Teschen was probably the founder and first mayor . The village became an administrative center for the area within the Arwa. The place was burned down in 1608 in a religious conflict. In 1683 the place was destroyed twice, namely by the Kurucs of Emmerich Thököly and by the troops of Kazimierz Sapieha marching to Vienna .

In the 16th and 17th centuries the Reformation took place in Arwa and in 1595 a Lutheran congregation was established in Jabłonka. From 1651 Catholics belonged to the parish in Orawka , but in 184 it took over the local church, which became a branch church of Orawka. Its own parish was established in 1787 (in the Diocese of Spiš , since 1920 Diocese of Krakow ).

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 2713 inhabitants, including 36 Hungarian-speaking, 51 German-speaking, 38 Slovak-speaking, 2588 foreign-speaking (thereof 2570 or 94.7% Polish-speaking), 2649 Roman Catholic, 7 Protestant, 1 Unitarian, 56 Jews.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the village came under the name Jablonka 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 550 houses with 2525 inhabitants, of which 2512 Poles, 7 Germans, 6 of other nationalities (mostly Slovaks), 2481 Roman Catholics, 42 Jews, 1 Greek Catholic, 1 Protestant.

From 1939 to 1945 the village became part of the Slovak State . It was not until 1947 that Czechoslovakia finally dropped its claims to the area.

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