history

Kopanka and Zabagnie (1779–1783)

Until the middle of the 18th century, the area “na Kopanie” of today's village consisted of meadows and fields owned by the Tyniec Abbey and the citizens of Skawina. The political affiliation of the area either to the Duchy of Zator or to the Kingdom of Poland is unclear.

The first small settlements in this area were called Dąbrowa (“oak grove”) and “Łąki Radzieckie” ( councilors' meadow ), later replaced by two villages called Kopanka , but the eastern village was also called Zabagnie (place behind the swamp ). The name Kopanka refers to a pit, also for the well water. After the First Partition of Poland , Kopanka became an independent municipality for the first time with a bailiff at the head, in the Myslenice District (1819 with the seat in Wadowice ), Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). At that time Kopanka had around 30 houses and almost 160 inhabitants.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Kopanka came to Poland (Powiat Kraków, Kraków Voivodeship ). This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the Krakow district of the General Government .

Ferry across the Vistula in Kopanka Druga

From 1945 to 1998 Kopanka was part of the Kraków Voivodeship.

In the 1950s, the Skawina thermal power station was built immediately south of the village, as well as a canal that starts in Łączany and ends in Kopanka.
