history
The place is located in the so-called Lemkenland , in an enclave furthest west on the Polish side of the border, although it bordered the Russian / Lemk villages Veký Lipník and Stráňany in the south . The first Lemk village in the east of Poland was Wierchomla Wielka . This enclave, called Ruś Szlachtowska by Roman Reinfuss , comprised four villages (Jaworki, Szlachtowa, Biała Woda and Czarna Woda). Until the Vistula Action in 1947, it was inhabited by specific sub-groups of the Lemken .
The place was first mentioned in 1581, under the Ruthenian form of the name (derived from the mountain maples ). Biała Woda and Czarna Woda were created later. In 1651 9 families lived in Biała Woda. In 1680 a Greek Catholic parish was established in Jaworki for the four villages.
During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Jaworki became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).
In 1900 the parishes of Jaworki, Biała Woda and Czarna Woda had 156, 122 and 67 houses with 699, 670 and 357 inhabitants, respectively, of which with one exception (a Roman Catholic Pole) all were Ruthenian-speaking and Greek-Catholic.
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Jaworki came to the Second Polish Republic . During the Second World War it belonged to the Generalgouvernement .
After the Vistula campaign, many buildings in Biała and Czarna Woda fell into disrepair or were destroyed. From 1962 to 2007 Jaworki, Biała Woda and Czarna were incorporated into Szczawnica. Biała Woda and Czarna Woda are now just districts of Jaworki.
From 1975 to 1998 Jaworki was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
