history

The first mention of the place is from 1489 under the name "Ilmanowa". The older literature claimed that the founder was a certain Wilman who built the town of Mszana Dolna or Kinsbark earlier around 1345 . The possessive place name was derived from the German personal name Ilman . At the time of the first mention there were two villages: Ilmanowa nowa (1490) and Starawies (1489) or Ilmanowa antiqua (1490). In 1552 a Vogt (advocatus) named Macej von Ilmanowa was mentioned, but Wilmanow (Ilmanowa Nowa) was given town charter in 1565 under Magdeburg law , while the old Limanowa was only named as Stara Wieś until today.

The city, whose name became today's Limanowa from the late 16th century after the metathesis Il-> Li , was destroyed several times by fire and acts of war. At the end of the sixteenth century there was a parish school in Limanowa. The first mention of the presence of Jews in Limanowa comes from 1640.

After the First Partition of Poland, Limanowa became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). In 1885 the city was connected to the railway line from Chabówka to Nowy Sącz , which was built as part of the Galician Transversal Railway. At the time, Limanova was sometimes described as the westernmost true shtetl in the Beskids , because the Jewish population made up almost half of the town's residents. In 1900 Limanowa had an area of ​​199 hectares, with 228 houses and 1806 inhabitants, of which 1790 were Polish-speaking, besides 1024 Roman Catholics there were 778 Jews. During the First World War , the Battle of Limanowa-Lapanow took place here in 1914 . The Provincial Church in Limanowa, built from 1911 to 1918, is considered to be the “most Polish of all Polish churches”. In the years 1919 to 1939 the electrification and the municipal water supply were built. After the war, the city limits were extended by incorporating surrounding villages. In 1970 a local museum “Muzeum Regionalnego Ziemi Limanowskiej” was set up and the “House of Culture” was built. In 1975 Limanowa became a township . From 1975 to 1998 the city was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
