history
The place was mentioned in a document in 1475 as Byelka , and later as Biełka (1578), Biłka Krolewska (1769). The name is derived from the Ukrainian word for the color white; the adjective królewska (see crown property ) was used to distinguish it from the neighboring Verkhnya Bilka , in Polish Biłka Szlachecka ( noble ).
The village initially belonged to the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania , Ruthenian Voivodeship , Lviv country . During the first partition of Poland in 1772 the village became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). The local Vorwerk belonged to the Komorowski family since the middle of the 19th century, later to the Sapieha .
In 1900 the municipality of Biłka Królewska had 111 houses with 731 inhabitants, of which 722 Polish-speaking, 9 Ruthenian-speaking, 634 Roman Catholic, 88 Greek Catholic, 9 Jews.
After the end of the Polish-Ukrainian War in 1919, the community became part of Poland. In 1921 it had 153 houses with 920 inhabitants, 919 of them Poles, 1 Jew (nationality), 870 Roman Catholic, 29 Greek Catholic, 21 Jews (religion).
During the Second World War it belonged first to the Soviet Union and from 1941 to the General Government, from 1945 back to the Soviet Union, now part of the Ukraine . The Poles were resettled to Poland in 1945 (in the vicinity of Krosno and St. Annaberg ). In their place came Ukrainians from the Lubaczów area .
