history

The place was first mentioned in the year 1404 Iancowa Wola . The name Wola (Latin libertas ) indicated a tax-free new establishment and survived in the sources until 1453, initially next to the name Jankouicze (1429). The current form of the name was created through the univerbation (word contraction) and appeared in 1431.

The village first developed in the Middle Ages as a suburb in the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Szczyrzyc District. From the second half of the 16th century, the village belonged to the noble Morsztyn (Morstin) family, who were strong followers of Arianism during the Reformation and administrators of the Wieliczka Salt Mine . This radical current of the Reformation rejects the Trinity ( Polish Brothers ). After 1600 there was a parish of the Polish Brethren, with its seat in a manor where Stanisław and his son Andrzej Wiszowaty lived. On May 2nd, 1656 the manor was burned down by Catholic farmers from Skrzydlna . The Polish brothers in Jankówka were secretly active until the early 18th century.

During the first partition of Poland in 1772, the village became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). From 1909 the manor was owned by the painter Józef Mehoffer .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Jankówka became part of Poland, with the exception of the time when Poland was occupied by the Wehrmacht in World War II .
