geography
The place is located on the stream Strwiąż ( Ukrainian Стривігор ). In the east there is a border crossing on the border between Poland and Ukraine .
history
The place was first mentioned in a document in 1541. The village belonged to the Starostei in Przemyśl . The name is derived from a Ruthenian adjective krostowaty , German hilly . In 1555 it was re-established on Wallachian law . In 1558 the Orthodox parish was established.
During the first partition of Poland , Krościenko came to the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804).
In 1784, in the course of the Josephine colonization , German colonists were settled nearby. The colony was called Obersdorf and is now within the village of Krościenko.
In 1900 the village had 1542 inhabitants in 229 houses, of which 1160 were Ruthenian-speaking, 335 were Polish-speaking, 43 were German-speaking, 1153 were Greek-Catholic, 267 were Jews, 79 were Roman-Catholics, and 43 were of other faith (Protestant).
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy , Krościenko came to Poland. In the interwar period , Krościenko was an important center of trade with a train station . The Jews had a house of prayer there. The Ukrainians had a common room and a library.
This was interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II , during which it first belonged to the Soviet Union and from 1941 to the General Government and again in 1945–1951 it belonged to the Soviet Union (see Polish-Soviet exchange of territory ).
After 1951, Greek communist refugees were settled there. Most of them came back to Greece in the 1970s.
From 1975 to 1998 Krościenko belonged to the Krosno Voivodeship , the formerly independent village Wolica became part of the village after World War I.
Obersdorf
In 1784, as part of the Josephine colonization, German colonists were settled between Krościenko and Wolica. The Protestants belonged to the parish of Bandrów .
In 1900 the municipality of Obersdorf had 15 houses with 113 inhabitants, of which 99 were German-speaking, 11 Polish-speaking, 3 Ruthenian-speaking, 19 Jews, 3 Greek-Catholic and 91 of other faiths (Protestant).
The Second World War marked the end of this colony .
