history

In 1365 Osiek was granted Magdeburg city rights by King Casimir the Great . The place name Osiek is very common in Poland and means a lock in the forest (obstacle: made of branches or shrubs), the adjective Jasielski is derived from the name Jasło .

The city initially belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 aristocratic republic Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Biecz district . During the first partition of Poland , Osiek came to the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). From 1855 Osiek belonged to the Jasło District .

After the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Osiek came to Poland in 1918. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . During the First World War, the town was largely destroyed and lost its town charter in 1934, like many other places in the area.

Before the Second World War, around 250 Jews lived in Osiek, that is a quarter of the population. After the German occupation, a forced ghetto was ordered in May 1942, in which people from the area were also imprisoned. The five hundred inmates were deported to the ghetto in Staszów on October 17, 1942 .

From 1975 to 1998 the village belonged to the Krosno Voivodeship .
