According to a legend, Mogiła, literally translated: a “burial mound”, was the place where Wanda was buried (see Wanda Mound ).

In 1222 Iwo Odrowąż , the bishop of Cracow, gave the village of Clara Tumba to the Cistercians (see Mogila Monastery ). The name Mogiła first appeared in 1291. The monks built the Church of the Nativity , first mentioned in 1329.

In the late 15th and early 16th centuries, Mogiła was home to one of the most important Seiger huts of the Fugger - Thurzo Society .

The place initially belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Proszowice district (later Kraków district). A vaudeville from 1794 by Wojciech Bogusławski , "Cud mniemany, czyli Krakowiacy i Górale", played in Mogiła.

During the third partition of Poland , Mogiła became part of the Habsburg Empire in 1795 . In the years 1815-1846 the village belonged to the Republic of Krakow , in 1846 it was annexed again as part of the Grand Duchy of Krakow to the countries of the Austrian Empire. From 1855 Mogiła belonged to the Kraków District . A fortification of the Krakow Fortress was built by Austrians between 1895 and 1896.

On June 23, 1949, construction of Nowa Huta began on the northern ground of Mogiła. Until 1950 Mogiła was the seat of a municipality that was incorporated into Krakow on January 1, 1951.
